Although my son wasn’t so keen on the 5 minute game load, he had a blast on the game. Quality games never lose their appeal

Managed to get an Arcade Monitor for the cabinet, I had to drive to sheffield for it, but its perfect. right size and no screen burn. The monitor had no paperwork and the guy I bought it from didn’t know anything it them, except not to touch it
The Guy had bought an complete machine with it in, he was converting it to a mame machine and wanted to use a LCD monitor. Asked me what I wanted it for, explained doing similar but wanted arcade CRT screen for authentic play experience and look.
The guy was sound and help me pack it up safe and put in in my car. Now off to do tons of reading, as need to understand how I power this baby up, connect it to the JPAC and make sure its all safe.

The DivIDE Interface with a CF card running on a ZXSpectrum, allowing me to play the games with the original hardware, but with current media and fast loads.
DivIDE is an ATA (IDE) interface which takes your ZX Spectrum computing to a whole new level.
As the time takes its toll on ageing media such as audio tapes or diskettes, many ZX Spectrum enthusiasts simply stick to emulation for better reliability and comfort. With divIDE you can put your software collection to a hard disk, CD-ROM or even CompactFlash card and experience your favourite games, demos and utilities the way the were meant to be run – and even better. Using existing firmwares, many users find their Speccy box again a live platform – time for you to make the switch? ;]” (quoted from http://baze.au.com/divide) -
