We have placed a new item on sale on eBay today - an Original Xerox 6R90268 Black Toner for the Xerox 8825 / 9930 A0 Laser Engineering Drawing Printers.

These cost around £200 new and this one has been sat sealed in its box unused since ordering in July 2007. Alas the printer is no longer with us, so this is surplus to requirements. It is an original Xerox item - the auction ends on 21st June 2008 - so grab a bargain now.

We have now obtained some more RAM Expansion cards for the Cambridge Z88 portable computer and have special offers on our Cambridge Z88 page. Supplies are limited. We are also offering 2 x brand new Cambridge Z88 32K EPROM Cartridges for £10, with a price reduction on the Z88 EPROM eraser.

Oops - all the excitement about the ZX80/ZX81 Forum (which has been very busy), we almost forgot to mention our own
RWAP Software Forum, which is for discussion of our projects and what people would like to see and help to shape our future direction

Finally, for all those desperate for news on the DivIDE Plus Hard disk interface for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, we
have now brought production over to the UK (with the original designers sourcing and providing the kit parts). This should speed up production and we have now received 20 kits to start with. Another 25 are on order, and we are investigating the possibility of ordering another 100 units to ensure that supplies continue.
