Adds CompactFlash storage, selectable disk firmware, an LCD, and a five-mode joystick interface to original ZX Spectrum computers.

Lotharek marks this revision discontinued. The seller says its joystick functions were tested on original Sinclair and Amstrad ZX Spectrum computers and does not guarantee clones. Media needs one active FAT16 partition, and compatibility still depends on selected firmware and correctly prepared software images. Identify the installed firmware and switch settings before using a second-hand unit.

Combines CompactFlash storage, four selectable firmware slots, AY sound, stereo output, and two joystick ports on a ZX Spectrum expansion interface.

The seller exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. Use a CompactFlash card with one active FAT16 partition and remove it only while power is off. The page distinguishes Sinclair and Amstrad bus modes, says the grey +2 is not an Amstrad-mode machine, and explicitly names +2B and +3 for Amstrad mode. It does not clearly establish +2A support, so that model is not attached.
