Wintermute_BBS<p>Good news from the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CZSpectrumPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CZSpectrumPlus</span></a> that I am trying to get back to life:</p><p>having replaced the proprietary <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZX8401" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ZX8401</span></a> chip with a modern FPGA based replacement, the system now comes up again - wooohooo !! 🥳 </p><p>I've also replaced the old keyboard membrane which had brittled to oblivion with a new one, however only a fraction of the keys are working. Maybe I need to replace the keyboard "big" ribbon cable connector as well (I already replaced the "small" one).</p><p>But things are going into the right dircetion ...</p><p>EDIT: I've replaced the "big" / "wide" keyboard connector with a new one and now all keys are working. More footage later, gotta go now to get cat food.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a><br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Sinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sinclair</span></a> <br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ZXSpectrum</span></a> <br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Clone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Clone</span></a> <br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Argentina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Argentina</span></a> <br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Czewerny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Czewerny</span></a></p>
