First computer ZX81 with 1K RAM.
with my first weeks wages along time ago.
Accidently
bought 3 Psion IIs in the past few weeks.
Current issue wondering about the battery in a RAMPAK which came with an XP.
The wife keeps wondering what I'm going to do with them.

Welcome 'fzgrommit'
ZX81 I still have nighmares about the RAM Pack Wobble"
Rampak battery - that is probably dead now... But the data on the pack is safe while it is fitted in a powered Organiser, you can use it as an extension of internal memory A:. You will find threads here which explain that in more detail and how members are replacing the 'soldered' battery with a removable 'clip'..
What to do with an Organiser? check out the "New owners / users - getting started" thread in this section. Also if you enjoyed programming a ZX81 then you will love OPL...
I look forward to seeing what you do.
Sincerely
Martin

Thanks
I'll take a look around. I've seen a few videos on YouTube about the battery.

I don't seem to be able to send private messages at the moment, they just seem to sit in the outbox.

Got the message thanks. It isn’t automatically notified, it is just in the mailbox until someone looks at the forum again.
