This channel is hosted by Wolfgang Kierdorf. I am a retro enthusiast from Cologne in Germany. My retro videos are in english. If you are from a different county or need a different language, please check if subtitles are available.
Thanks for watching!

This seems like a very good solution especially for a computer where a single failed transistor can scorch all your upper and lower ram. good job

Thanks! Yep. I think this works great as a replacement.
Wolfgang this is brilliant. I was an original Spectrum owner back in the day (previously it was a ZX81 that was the first computer I ever built!). Thanks for this, your enthusiasm shines through!!

Thanks! It really was a joy to build this.
Excellent.
Love the video, but would it be possible in future to have the main camera full screen with your head as overlay in a corner, its hard to see details. Subscribed!!
GREAT video! I love it when something works the 1st time! What are you building next? Do they have a kit for a Commodore 116?

Thanks! Not sure yet. That Specy was really cool to build. You should try it. I am sure you will love it! I don't think there is a C116 but as far as I know you can run the emulator for it on exactly this board!
I love the orange and black colour combo

@@RetroWK No I don’t it’s one of those computers that never appealed to me. I never even ran a spectrum emulator. It just doesn’t do it for me. It’s no C64 or Atari. Did you have one as a kid?

The board is inexpensive but the case, the keyboard membrane and rubber keycaps etc. adds up quickly. Not quite as much as an Omni 128HQ but close...
