ScuzzBlog: Diaries October 2017 Entry 20th October 2017: Post: 1 More power to the Z88 Dug out the power supply for the Cambridge Computers Z88. Also stuck in four batteries and like magic she sprang to life. Have been monitoring the computer all day and she is maintaining the date and time so looking good. The unit has BBC BASIC on it and saves to ROM. There is an EPROM card that you can fit to slot 3 which will store files. I have experimented with leaving the computer without power and batteries and the ROM holds the files for quite a while without power. Interesting little computer, albeit with a very small and dimly lit display. I would guess that in its time it was very useful. Also very mobile and great for just putting down and picking up again. A worthy addition to my assembled computers that I will keep active each day. Great for practicing my BBC BASIC. The computer already has the memory slot filled with 128K RAM and I will source an EPROM when I get the mood to do so. Handy lightweight Cambridge Z88 fully active The view can be adjusted and does look brighter than has photographed here Holding the correct date and time with no issue Files held in ROM using the FILER but can be stored on an EPROM card in slot 3. The power supply for the Z88 Slot 1 already loaded with a 128K RAM card Similar to the Amstrad Notepad which I plan next to bring into active service Like the CPC style coloured buttons
