Ben continues the epic journey of modding a ZX Spectrum into a handheld device. He works to shrink the size of the circuitry as much as possible so the power of the Speccy can be in the palm of his hands. He makes progress and runs into some challenges with modding the circuitry before he goes through the process of designing a case. With some sketches, Ben shows that it’s not just about how everything will fit, but also how everything connects within the case.
