Hey ZX-81 gang here!

999SKR (Swedish crowns) guess it was like 100$ and it gave you a 1KB 1Mhz computer :-) around 400SKR more for an expansion card with a whopping 16KB...

Went the C64 way but damn that Spectrum was sexy back in the day.

BTW did you solder it yourself?

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My father did, I was 10. But he then teached me a lot of things like soldering, programming in basic and Z80 assembly
