Nice work!
Please could you let me know how you figured out how to connect the Spectrum KB membrane to a the USB controller?

I feel a tinkering project coming on…

Well, it may still have several chips that aren’t made any more that work (perhaps a working ULA, perhaps some working 4116/4164 memory, a working modulator etc.) So I’m still interested if you’ve not chucked it out

Um, given that I’ve scavenged the board for the keyboard connectors, the power socket and the heatsink, along with it being broken to start with, I’m not sure it would be all that much use really.

Do you still have the Spectrum motherboard? If you don’t want to keep it, email me at dyls *a* alioth , net and I’ll be happy to pay for postage…I don’t care if it doesn’t work, they are often quite easy to fix…
