Hi.

This is a bit annoying really, but a few years ago I ebayed 2 zx spectrums (Long story - bidding frenzy) for the purpose of playing games. I had enough site to play the simple arcade type games and I really enjoyed it.
Sadly, about a month later I became totally blind and ever since then they've been sitting in the cupboard.
I found them today and according to someone with site they still work.

I was wondering if anyone has ever got any of these to talk? Fyi, one is a 48k and another is a 128k, i'd rather use the 128 as it has a built in tape drive.
I kno it seems a bit far fetched, but considering that you can actually mod them so that they have 10 meg lan, perhaps this is actually dooable?

Any pointers would be great - I just don't wanna thro them away. BEN.
