Ben has modded many old computers into gaming portables and today he takes a crack at something new - the ZX Spectrum. He gets stared by taking the computer apart and for a closer look inside. He makes sure it works by simulating loading a game from tape before he gets down to making modifications. He adds a new EEPROM with two different operating systems and makes some an upgrades to the video RAM |
