briefer Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Hi all I was surprised to find this little program to use the spectrum as an alternative for the MT-1 barcode reader pen and the MT-70 or VT-5: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~jg27paw4/yr04/yr04_29.htm (I used an emulator and the code works, I did not try connecting the PC with the keyboard. Yet.) Is there anything more "modern" available to use a PC or smartphone? cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 You might be able to run a Spectrum emulator on a modern PC to do the same job. This would assume that it would be possible to route the virtual Spectrum "ports" to the real ports of a modern PC/ computer running the emulator.

briefer Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 (edited) I have several spectrum in my collection, so I will try with the real hw If it works, I will create a video in youtube. Thanks! Edited January 4 by briefer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ra226 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Funny you should ask, I've got a working Arduino-based emulator going right now, just about ready to launch. My goal is to be able to scan books into code, then play the same code back out the emulator. It will also be able to play back home brew tunes (calculating the checksum automatically so the composer won't need to). I'll share here when it's ready for launch, which I'm hoping will be in about a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
