Do
you have any old Memotech hardware?
-
working or not?
Do
you know someone who does?
PLEASE don't throw it away!
Memotech
enthusiasts would only be too pleased to take it off your hands
and get it back to working condition. If all else fails, it
would be a valuable source of spares for these ageing machines,
please get in touch if you can help. |

Andy Key wrote many MTX games for
Continental
Software and developed the
Video Wall
software for MCL, he wrote
MEMU, the fully
featured emulator for Memotech MTX, FDX and SDX
systems, as well as developing a range of hardware
for the MTX, including the fantastic
REMEMOrizer. Andy maintains his own Memotech
focused
website which hosts a great deal of technical
information on the MTX range, with particular focus
on firmware and software. I have made a lot of use
of this great resource and miss it on the rare
occasions that it is not available. The site is very
reliable, but to cater for the very few times that
it is unavailable, with Andy's permission, I have
mirrored his Memotech pages here as a backup to
Andy's site - which you should always visit in
preference to the mirror The status of Andy's site
shown below is based on a very basic test - it tries
to read a file from Andy's site, and if there are
problems, the site is flagged as unavailable. This
has been shown not to be 100% reliable, so you are
probably better always trying the link to Andy's
site first. |
