We christened it ZX Chameleon due to that fact it can change it’s character (or colour) depending on the use it was put to. We reasoned that any small projects or peripherals could use the Spectrum’s internal +5v and anything needing more current could use the raw +9v from the Spectrum’s power supply and regulate to taste. I based the outline on the successful ZX Diag Cart sold by ByteDelight since I had the original files to hand and lots of people said they had appreciated the two indents on the board allowing easy removal from the rear of the Spectrum.ĭuring our discussions, Tony and I decided that we could forgo the video signals from the rear edge connector and most of the voltages. Tony and I hashed out the idea and I began designing the board. I commented that it would be a little like ByteDelight’s Speccy Breadboard but with different features. We were discussing possible expansions for the ZX Spectrum and arrived at a system of plug in modules for experimentation and utility.
I was having a chat with a friend of mine, Tony Davies of DCS Electronics in the UK.
