    Having just got my first ever 1.5 recently, this video really shed some light on Sinclair's cost-saving work arounds! Great video mate.

    Fascinating, thanks for this detailed (and very clear!) walk-through of the mod. Great work.

      There are some websites out there that go into some detail. There is more to learn but it would be a long video, maybe one for a Patreon blog post!

    This was useful. Thank you. - My issue with the issue 1 ULA is that a connected Interface 1 doesn't work - i.e. it doesn't recognise the *CAT 1 command until you apply the dead-cockroach mod.

      Yes I suppose in order to use the issue 1 ULA you should be on an issue 1 or 2 PCB with no spider mod and a dead cockroach installed to get proper function

      You could make it up yourself, try eBay for the chip!

      ? you mean an issue 2 board with a issue 1 ula? and no mod? likely the original ula has been replaced at some time with an earlier version....also both issue 1 and 2 ulas need a transistor adding to the iorqula line to correct io port problems , this was usually fitted to issue 2 machines
