Here you find my results in analyzing the different Spectrum file formats, I used for the programs of ZX-Modules. Well, it's hard to find truth informations about all these file formats. I hope, this page will help programmers who want to support these file formats in their programs. Plese apologize that some informations are missing. Here you find what I eplored or found on other homepages, to the best of my knowledge.
