Getting Loaded (2:2)

Clarifications offered by the author include:

1) Check your tape recorder grounding; you may have to reverse the diode.

2) Parts list: LED #276-042; diode #276-1114.

The Game of Life Revisited (2:1)

The author has supplied the following changes which should make both versions work.

p. 20, col. 3:

LET A=USR(16427)

p. 21, Fig. 3.

1) Hex address column: the instructions after 40FD repeat Fig. 2.

2) Add the following instructions:

40AB:  CD F9 40          CALL TEST
40AE:  DD 7E 22          LD A,(IX+34)
40B1:  CD F9 40          CALL TEST
40B4:  DD 7E 00          LD A,(IX)

3) Correct the following instructions:

40DF:  DD 36 00 00             LD (IX),00
40E5:  DD 36 00 80     CELL:   LD (IX),128

p. 25, Fig. 7:

4115: Correct hex format to 28 0E

Already noted in 2:2:

p. 21, Larger Field:

3) POKE 16435,20

MicroAce Video Upgrade (2:1), p. 27.

The author has supplied the following additional information:

1) 1st col., last sentence: pin 2 should be “pin 1.”

2) Several readers have wondered about connection “G” on the board. The instructions can be interpreted to indicate a connection between it and both IC 21 pin 1 and the base resistor of the transistor buffer used on VHF modulator equipped ZX80 computers. Connect G as follows:

a) UHF modulators: to IC 21 pin 1.

b) VHF modulators: to the base resistor of the buffer only.
