Bit O/T, I know, but ( I can't remember what initial size the memory chips were ) but Clive again cheapskate'd on these . He bought twice the capacity RAM, with only one half working at peanuts.
Another feature- it's possible to take a connection ( on the 128 at least) ,from the printer driver chip to a parallel port and run a printer . Obviously the Spectrum is not plug and play, so if the plug comes out, it's save data and switch off.
