ZX Spectrum Supercharger

Source: http://www.dandare.es/Proyectos_Dandare/ZX_Dandanator%21_Mini_EN.html

It is amazing to see, how much love old school platforms like the ZX Spectrum and its processor Z80 still receive today. And rightfully so, it is one of the outstanding devices of its era. Since - like most other 8-bit machines of the time - it came with an expansion port. And plenty of peripherals have been available. A special one is the Dandanator Mini built by an individual going by the name Dan Dare. Buy it or build it yourself, plug it in and immediately your dated beast awakens ready for new deeds.

The device comes with 512k of fast access memory and provides numerous features. You can load programs instantly from a simple menu, load new games and programs easily, you can pause, snapshot and restore every game state you wish and the homebrew cartridge can be used as a CP/M plug&play system as well as a Hard Disk of 460Kb. So exciting! 🤩

The Youtube channel More Fun Making It just published a very relaxing introduction video, which you definitely want to see, if you own a Spectrum or one of its clones. Should that be your cup of tea, also have a look at Multiply built by mad3001 which provides an SD card add-on and is a perfect fit here.
