I'm now really making progress on the laserharp project.
That's because it's almost time to present the laserharp at some retrocomputing shows, so I'm anxious to finish it in time!!

Here a small video showing the modifications I made to a ZX Spectrum +2B .. poor speccy!

I'm building 50 more, and 10 are ready.

So get one at eBay:
DivIDE interface with 512MB CF card and CF adapter
DivIDE interface without 512MB CF card (but with CF adapter)

I'm doing well on the Laserharp, allthough there is a lot more 'finetuning' todo, like making the sensors more sensible to the green laser light (reflection) only.

But anyway, I've made a short nice video of the current status.
Enjoy!

I found a nice lcd display on eBay, with 2 composite video inputs, and a 12V power connector.
No remote, no buttons, simply give it 12V, and feed a video signal:



It's only 3.5" in diagonal, but the resolution is 640x480, and the colors are very good!
And the best thing: it only costs less then 21 euro!

Here's a YouTube video I made, where I put the lcd in the place of the +2B's cassette recorder:

Search for: "3.5" TFT Color LCD Car Reverse Monitor Aluminum panel" on eBay (worldwide, because it's sold from Hong Kong).

Someone flashed his DivIDE to ESXDOS, and asked me how to get back to FATWare.
So I got my ESXDOS rom from the shelve, swapped it with my +DivIDE rom, and checked it out.

It's not that hard:
1. Get the FATWare flasher from somewhere
2. Put it on your (FAT formatted) CF card
3. Start ESXDOS with that CF card
4. Use: .TAPEIN FATWAR~1.TAP
5. Use: LOAD ""

This will load the flasher program, so you can flash FATWare again.

~ = extended mode symbol shift A.
Your filename of the flasher may be different when you use another flasher .TAP file (e.g. the 128K versions from Velesoft).
