the Speccy 'chicklets' keyboard WAS cute... oddly enough pressing those rubber keys seemed oddly interesting.

that 14 sec includes the "leader tone" whic doesn't have any data in it.

Machforr, i just tested for you, a speccy will save 1KB in 14 seconds i dunno if the ZX81 had the same ROM routines for save/load but it is possible they were similar, some of that ROM was borrowed & enhanced

My friend's dad was from France.. and he brought it with him I think.. but yes, the spectrums were rare in Canada
