The ZX Spectrum 128k+ was the last Spectrum produced by Sinclair before their takeover by Amstrad, and was affectionately known as the “toastrack” due to the large voltage regulator heatsink on its side – it was an upgrade to the ZX Spectrum 48k+, featuring 128KB RAM, 32KB ROM, an RGB video output, three-channel audio via a AY-3-8912 chip, MIDI compatibility, an RS-232 serial port, and an external keypad. Eventually, a machine in good, boxed, but untested condition with peripherals popped up on Facebook Marketplace – after an hours’ drive up to Newcastle, I put my bartering cap on and managed to get it for a reasonable price. I’ve owned several different Sinclair ZX Spectrum computers over the past couple of years, but I hadn’t got my hands on a 128k+ at this point, so I set about looking to get one for my collection.
