Memotech Keyboard for ZX81

The Memotech keyboard was one of the few keyboards for the ZX81 which was connected to the expansion bus with one of their typically styled interfaces named Memopak I/F – you did not need to open the computer. The computer keys and the Memotech keyboard could be used in parallel.

It was available in at least three versions:

• Black base with black keys,
• black base with white keys and
• blue base with blue keys.

The keyboard and the interface were manufactured in the typical Memotech way: The cases were made from continuous casted aluminium with a faceplate fitted to the left and right. The keys looked very appealing but i don't know how durable the printing was. Besides one additional shift key in the top right corner there were no extra keys.

It came in a simple unprinted white cardboard box with the typical split styrofoam insert.

I own a blue one, in pretty good condition, as you can see from the pictures. :-) Since 2006-06 i also own the black/black and black/white one and i have at least one manual, which i have scanned. Pictures of the keyboards are still in the queue. [2006-06]
