sure the sam had 24kb but the advertised 6mhz z80b was really only 3mhz you had to have external 1mb to get 6mhz weve got a zx spectrum emulator on the velesoft website called snaper disks that more than double the performance of the speccy

not even hardware interlace?

The Spectrum has a progressive display. You can't change it into an interlaced display by replacing the ULA.

if u replaced the ula with a socket and replaced the z80 processor with a socket could u insert a pcb that slots into both the z80 and ula ? could the pcb connect to a pi zero?

You could bridge the ULA and Z80. But hobbling a reasonably powerful ARM SoC by hanging it off a far less capable system seems counterintuitive. It would be more effective to emulate the system on the Raspberry Pi?

there are 2 pi zeros that are quad core could we use them?

id love to send you a shamazx dma interface can you send me an address please?

100mhz 6502!

ula+ has timex hi rez 512x192 but no attributes yes? could ink n paper colours be altered for a word processor?

sam has line interrupt register but only 128 lines per frame ula+ doesnt have line interrupt?

what are the video modes supported by ula+ please? do u understand the floating bus? does this mean zx spectrum cant access 64k of ports?

sam haz hi res mode 3 512x192 but only 2bits per pixel so 4 colours but mode 4 with 4bits per pixel uses a colour lookup table with 16 7bit valus ie 128 colour palette but also the hmpr port has 2 bits so that in mode3 you can switch to 4 x 4 sets of colours this can be done along a scan line according to an article in world of sam every 19 pixels but a dma is 8 times faster ram to port write 2tstates wed nearly get 16 colours per scan line at 512x192 

have you seen nathan cross' full screen animation girls aloud? think what ula+ could do...

 dreadful android emulator doesnt cope with sam or ula+ yet....

if the girls aloud animation floats your boat all i need is a pc program that yakes in avi video and spits out ula+ timex hi colour animation tap/tzx files hi rez greyscale should b possible too?
