Mentioned your site to a local retro-gaming store (backgames).

Athough the sinclair was never very popular in Holland, they may still find it usefull.

I'm also developing an ethernet card for the Spectrum (complete with shadow ROM to hold the socket library and a few programs, and some extra memory). Hopefully have the first few prototypes going by the Speccy's 26th anniversary!

Then onto making a version for the BBC Micro (which hopefully may be somewhat easier, given the BBC's in-built support for paged ROMs)
