PS What sort of battery do you use, and how long does the battery last?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Cool! I've been planning (vaguely) to make a portable Spectrum using a real Spectrum case/keyboard, with a Raspberry Pi Pico inside (emulating) and a small LCD. I've already got the case and ribbon cable connectors, but, knowing me, it'll get no further :-/

  Are you sure? yes | no
