Powerful and smart 8bit home computer, a ZX Spectrum clone with lots of popular, already built-in peripherals. The eLeMeNt ZX combines a real Z80 CPU and a modern FPGA circuit to achieve the best compatibility with all software and hardware for the ZX Spectrum family.

Designed as a standalone unit, for the Tiny case and an external PC keyboard and mouse. Or to fit into cases of  ZX Spectrum +2 and +2A models, with their excellent keyboards.

Main features of the LMN128 FPGA core:

• ZX Spectrum 48, 128 and +2A, Pentagon 128, 512, 1024 v2.2 and 4096 KB memory models
• CPU speed 3.5/7/14/20 MHz, overclocking up to 30 MHz
• precise display engine, perfectly synced timings, digital output incl. sound
• SD and micro-SD slots, esxDOS, DivSD (divMMC) and Z-Controller storage interfaces
• TurboSound FM, SID, 6-channel SAA1099, SounDrive/Stereo Covox/Specdrum sound
• retro scan-line effects, hardware GigaScreen - no flickering, enhanced graphics: Timex modes, ULAplus and TrueColour palettes, HiRes with attributes, HGFX ZX-Planar
• K-Mouse, Z80-DMA, Ultimate, divMMC and MB02 RAM expansions
• Atari, Kempston or SEGA controllers
