Chalk and cheese, apples and oranges, cats and dogs, C64 lovers and Spectrum lovers…. The gulfs between these things can be large. So is the improvement in this new audio circuit on the Issue 4 board compared to the old one. Tape loading is more of a pleasure! #ZXSpectrumNext

Thanks to Rob Taylor and the team known as “The Board Folk Team”. This amateurish and useless solderer (me) has improved a great deal (shaky hands and all). Not long now and it will be complete. If it works it will be miraculous. Never attempted anything like this before.

The Atari Portfolio has been a difficult machine in the modern age. Not anymore! youtu.be/RyKo5sLL-HA?si…
