Parts availability might be a serious problem, especially the ULA.


That's the point of this clone, it's based on the ZX80 which uses only standard TTL chips, all of which are still available today. The original 1K RAM chips and mask ROM are not, but modern parts have been substituted. The next version will incorporate an NMI slow mode circuit which will make it fully ZX81 compatible, still only using standard TTL parts.


The ZX80 used TTLs, only the '81 and Spectrum used ULAs.
