@ispypaulspies @tonywarriner They’ll be KS1 and KS2 versions hitting the second hand market the moment people start getting their hands on their new KS3 versions.

@tonywarriner I’m upgrading from a KS1 to a KS3, but I bought just a normal black one. Fingers crossed it gets here before Christmas?! No worries though, the first one had a little wait.

@VirtualJames @nyimski I popped a pi in right after I checked the device worked. Had to be done! lol

[Retro Box Room @RetroBoxRoom]

@VirtualJames @nyimski I look forward to seeing what you do with it. All I’ve got for mine is this - https://t.co/y97AyThXhO

@VirtualJames @rip_dean I’ve got a 3010, they do indeed have the green keys. I remember the Beeb Masters getting swapped out for A3000s, then some A3020 getting bought for the school library years later.

@VirtualJames They sure where - but holding R down and powering them on, was a sneaky way to make them look broken. Don’t do it, it’s a pain to put right, since it resets the CMOS.

[Retro Box Room @RetroBoxRoom]

@nyimski @VirtualJames It looks nice. I look forward taking it for a test drive.

[Retro Box Room @RetroBoxRoom]

@VirtualJames @nyimski There’s some fun little demos and games that take advantage of the extra colours.

You know this hobby never ends! There’s always some clever so’n’so making fancy things and software to push these old machines just a little bit further! 🤓

If you’ve got a ZX Spectrum Next, or still waiting on delivery, but would like to make your own games - you might like this https://t.co/gVGouTxHIY It would be nice to get past the £42K goal mark!

@dandouglas It might be possible to bring the CPC back to life? There’s plenty of people who make old computers working again. I’ve even done it, and I’m no expert.

@VirtualJames @xyphoe @CPCGAMINGDEMOS @AmstradGGP @AmstradPower Post #8 onwards seems to be the main bit to be following?

@VirtualJames @xyphoe @CPCGAMINGDEMOS @AmstradGGP @AmstradPower Hopefully this helps? - https://t.co/6RFT4uCBwV

@VirtualJames @tobobobo I ordered a starlight C64C one, but cancelled to get the cyberpunk one, just to get the faster CPU. lol

[Retro Box Room @RetroBoxRoom]

@VirtualJames @tobobobo I bought a C64U when it was just a board. I’m now waiting until Feb 27 because I’ve been silly and bought a Commodore 77. lol

[Retro Box Room @RetroBoxRoom]

@VirtualJames Nah - just black. I want to swap the base of the issue 1. It was engraved.

[Retro Box Room @RetroBoxRoom]

@tobobobo @VirtualJames All lot quicker than the issue 1 wait!
