Very cool tone. Curious to hear more with it!

Cool! You need to try to make it run some 1bit chiptunes from ZX scene while I'll go and ask Yerzmyey if he knows about it ;-)

If you follow the link in the description, you'll learn that's about the plan, a bit more creative though. Running existing ZX Spectrum 1-bit engines there is easy.

hey its shiru whats up!

I wonder why the 3rd character from the right is always super dim...

These things use software-driven display multiplexing, and they weren't much reliable. So if Z80 gets a freeze by some reason, like a power spike, only one digit remains on, at constant full bright. As it is a phone, if no one at home, it could spend days in such state, and a digit would be to burn out. It was a common issue with these.

@@shiru8bit Interesting. I guess the only AON Z80 phones without the occasional burned-out digit are ones that were either incredibly lucky or barely in service if at all.

@@theocgaming9433 yep. Every single unit I have got a digit burned out to a degree.
