Those drives are a nice accessory, I managed to pick up an empty case and put one together

Thanks for sharing - some interesting stuff there!

An interesting read, thanks for the link Tony.

Yes that would be a neat add on!!

I could offer a serial loading upgrade to everyone who already has the Speculator, when it's working.

Is there any other RAM drive option for Einstein apart from my Silicon Disc?

Not that I’m aware of

Reversing the price question, how much would people be willing to pay? Let's use £50 price bands: £0-50, £50-100, £100-150, etc. Speculator will cost more than Silicon Disc (Spec and SD for short) due to scarcity. I need to buy eight 256Kb*1 DRAMs per SD. Best price in UK I've seen is £1 each. Plea...

Hi Tony.

I’d certainly be interested in a Speculator and a Silicon Disc

Hi Tony, welcome aboard! You’re in the right place!

I have a Tatung monitor but have also used TVs and 15khz monitors such as you might use with an Amiga.

Tv worked fine but have had an issue with overscan cropping a bit of the text off and some have no controls to adjust it.

Something like a Philips/Commodore 1084 would do well

Exciting! interesting bit of hardware!
