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 (about) 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 contemporary.

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