Hi,

Is there a manual or instructions regarding the keyboard, please?

What keys and key combinations do e.g. the four keys right of LCD, accessing the different modes, and the multi functions of each key.

I can't recall from my ZX days and pressing the keys, not sure what they do or happens.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Caps Shift + key is alternative function

  Are you sure? yes | no

Thank you.

So example, Caps Shift + 9 = Graphics or 1 for Edit?

Does the cursor change when programming in Basic, it doesn't appear to or I am doing something wrong?

This is a fantastic project, love it!

Are the fully assembled kits with VGA, Joystick port etc, available?

I got the none VGA version fully assembled but so

impressed thinking of getting the VGA version too.

Cheers
