Per cui 4 persone ;)

Intanto altre news dal WOS FORUM:
"Rick Dickinson designed case. Working prototype on display at Play. Roms are
licensed. PCB has apparently been designed so it also fits in a 48K case! RGB
15khz, VGA 31Khz and HDMI. Scart is supported with adapter. Built in
multiface.”

I didn't know anything about this project until today, when it was announced.
It turns out the author is Victor Trucco, a well-known hardware developer in
Brazil that released several retro projects already:

The ZX Spectrum Next project is directly derived from TBBLUE, an open source
FPGA version of the ZX-Spectrum he co-authored with Fabio Belavenuto (another
Brazlian hardware developer) and released in Brazil some time ago. You can
read about TBBLUE here (in Portuguese so google translate it):

The ZX Spectrum Next is an improved version of this idea (such as providing
SD, both VGA and HDMI, etc), it's intended for the European market (through
partners in UK). The case design was authored by Rick Dickinson. It's also
hardware compatible with several original Spectrum interfaces (already tested
with Kempston Interface and many others). It will have a black case by
default, but there will be also a limited edition in white. The crowdfunding
campaign will let you choose the full computer, or the motherboard only, or
the case only.
I'm now in contact with Victor Trucco and I will post a more detailed post
later. In the meantime, you can see some computer images in this video
(unfortunately in Portuguese only):

Sembra serio e licenziato…per cui…meglio del Vega+ tiè ;)
Adesso vorrei che stilassimo una lista dei possibili acquirenti, io di sicuro
lo prendo ^_^

Concordo!... Preferisco una piena compatibilità che i miracoli dei
"megachipponi" moderni... Altrimenti che Spectrum è?... Ma è solo un mio
parere da "nostalgico" del DIY... Forse!... :-)
Sì ma, come ho già detto ampiamente, nello Spectrum Next l'ULA non c'è
ed è quello il componente più critico dal punto di vista della
compatibilità. Perciò perché preoccuparsi del resto?
