Currently, Ben Versteeg of [https://bytedelight.com Byte Delight] is building and selling the Spectranet. There is also a Facebook group run by Ben [https://www.facebook.com/groups/317751018885010/ Spectranet Facebook group]. Ben's YouTube channel (linked from his site) also has a bunch of interesting videos, including the pick-and-place assembly machine used to build the boards. Additionally you may find stock at [http://www.sellmyretro.com/ RWAP Software] (who also sells other useful items like replacement keyboard membranes), who sold the Spectranets assembled from around 2014 to 2016. 2022-06-04: [[Make a Chip Pro]], an FPGA board for the Spectrum is under development. 2020-02-21: By popular demand, project sources etc. are now available on Github: see https://github.com/spectrumero/spectranet .

[[ZX SPI]] - an SPI interface written in Verilog for the [[ZX Breakout]]. See [[Current_events|the news blog]] for more. == Project Info == * [[Make a Chip Pro]] - FPGA add-on for the Spectrum, like the [[ZX Breakout]] but with more stuff. For the Spectrum's 40th anniversary! * [[ZX Breakout]] - Provides ZX bus signals on a header, and a CPLD for logic functions. Also allows 3.3v devices to be used with the Spectrum. ** [[ZX SPI]] - An SPI interface for the ZX Breakout allowing the Spectrum to become an SPI master. * [[Spectranet]] - The Spectrum ethernet card - make your Spectrum talk to the world. ** [[Guide]] (English) [[Guía]] Español [[Gebrauchsanweisung]] Deutsch - Quick guide for new users. ** [http://fuse-emulator.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fuse-emulator/trunk/fuse/hacking/spectranet.txt FUSE users - setting up the Spectranet] Setting up the Spectranet on the development version of the Fuse emulator. ** [[Downloads]] - ROM images, utilities etc. ** [[Hardware]] - A reference for the details of the hardware used for the Spectranet board. ** [[Software|Software development]] - A reference for writing software that uses the Spectranet. ** [https://github.com/spectrumero/spectranet GitHub] - Browse the Spectranet source code. * [http://www.alioth.net/Projects/Spectrum-Diag/ Diagnostics] - A simple diagnostics card - assists in fixing broken machines. == Tools == The software tools used for all of these projects are: * gschem: http://www.geda.seul.org/tools/gschem/ - gEDA Schematic Capture. * PCB: http://pcb.sourceforge.net/ - PCB editor. * Xilinx WebKit ISE - for configuring the CPLD. http://www.xilinx.com Gerber files and PostScript files will also be available, so if you don't want to edit the PCB layouts or schematics, you can produce the phototools/toner transfer sheets without needing them. You will need at least the Impact part of ISE to program a CPLD. Programming hardware can be as simple as a parallel cable since Xilinx CPLDs are programmed via JTAG rather than some byzantine high voltage programming method. bv13koxrupoxhqko9vrfbq00v0k9ie1
