I visited the Dutch C64 fair where also fanatics of MSX, Sinclair, Atari and other brands were present.

I brought my laserharp, here's a video (click on pic):

I just opened a new topic on World of Spectrum (click here) with info about ordering the new stereo sound enhancement.

It's a complete kit including stereo audio output socket and switch to choose between ABC and ACB sound.
All is explained in this manual (click here).

I managed to connect a DB60XG wavetable card to my 'Laserharp' ZX
Spectrum.
So that is also the function: to create sound for my
laserharp (look at my Youtube videos).

It took some hours to get this working as the DB60XG somehow needs a reset after it's powered on.
Then the second thing it needs is a GM initialisation.

I'm trying out different sounds in this video. The setup was for prototyping only. I will build the electronics into a case together with the DB60XG.

Here's a video of the setup working:

Next batch of DivIDE

I'm still waiting for some parts for the next batch of 50 DivIDE interfaces, and sold the remaining 5 from the last batch this week.
Wow, there is still so much interest in the DivIDE!

Shipment costs

Our national post-company Tnt has raised rates for international packages with about 85%! It's absurd.
To still be able to send for fair prices I looked for a solution.
I now am able to ship in a new box that fits through your mailbox, so I can use letter-rates for the shipment, but I always used signed and insured shipment.
This way the package is only about 3 euro more expensive than before, instead of about 10 euro.

I repaired a floppydrive! Lol!

My Sam Coupe needed a repair or other floppydrive.
