ZX SPECTRUM 48K DEMOS with AY-interface

ZX SPECTRUM 48K + AY-INTERFACE demos

People quickly noticed that music (however it was more than fine) can't take all CPU's powers. And - since AY chip was typical for ZX48K (interfaces coming from ZX81 in 1981) and for ZX Spectrum 128K (internal AY chip) - the one standard of AY ports stabilized for Spectrum 48 in form of contemporary AY-interface (in CZ/SK known as a Melodik interface), that appeared in 1986, from Polish 'Stavi' company.

Sadly today ZX48K scene is rather not very active. Slowly, within years 1996/1999 people moved on 128K models (difference to 48K is more-less like between Amiga 500 & Amiga 1200). However to that moment, ZX48K was a mainstream machine for ZX scene.

Nowadays only few groups support Spectrum 48K with their productions and thanx to them You can notice here also progs made in 2000-2011.

Below You can find demos written especially for ZX48K+AY which is a standard config. Well, not ALL-ever-made demos of course. :)

(To load TAP/TZX files into ZX Spectrum You should use TAP2WAV. To load *.z80 files use K7ZX).
