To have in some way support GS with the Sprinter it would be interesting...
But what wants to say ZX-Bus? is reported to the original 38 pin connector of Speccyl?
Personally I have a GS connected to the Scorpion with its slot, and I know also that there's for the Kay-1024 but with the priority standard Kay.
I consider more interesting the possibility than to insert a new GS planned for slot the ISA-Sprinter.
Moreover I don't believe that it's easy to find a GS original (not in a emulator... :)

GS not manufacture today. So, will not be new GS for ISA.

1) We have REAL General sound connected to REAL Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2 (with MB-02+) - we aren't talking about emulators.
2) Preparation of production of GeneralSound compatible card for the West Europe by the 8-Bit Company is in progress.
3) "The original 38 pin connector of Speccy" is often reported simple as a bus or as a ZX bus.
4) Sound of Sprinter DACs is awfull - only 8 bit samples played on a 16 bit DAC! As I heard in SpDOOM, only TWO channels are used! Samples on demand aren't available.
5] Finally, ON MY OWN OPINION, Sprinter graphic modes are excellent, but sound needs an improvement (better souncard).

It will be very interesting to look on new GS. We not against an external sound card, realy. And we will be happy if Sprinter users can use new GS with ISA-ZXbus convertor.
By the way, Sprinter will can play 8KHz-44KHz 16 bit stereo sound, after BIOS update (it will be published during this month).

>GS not manufacture today. So, will not be new GS for ISA.
Yes it is/ X-trade sold it to Compex-GPS.
Anyway DMUSC(DMA ULTRA SOUND CARD) is better!

Sbou speccy bus. There 3-types of ZX bus.
Scorpion ZX bus
X-TRADE ZX bus(see Spectrum Expert #2 for more info)
Nemo bus..

Thanks, we know about it.
ISA-ZXbus card has X-Trade type. Mainboards Sp97 used it for GS and X-Trade modem.

XTR modems are out of pruduction. After a serious talk with NEMO guys who produced it decided that modem-mail is bad, they think that post mail is better. I thin DMAUSC would be better for sprinter that GS. An about a topic. I think it would be great to have network card in sprinter. There was russian PC ПЪЛЬадинand it had very simple network. Anuway there is a network card for MSX. So it would not be very big problem!

Yes, we are thinking about possibility of creation a LAN card for the Sprinter. It will be unstandard card. But in the future only. VGA for Sprinter is the main problem today.

And what about the old NE1000 Ethernet cards? Does anyone know if they are still in production? They were ISA, 8 bit, and -better- TCP/IP compatible!

I used to assemble NE1000-compatibles here in Argentina imported from China in kit form for my company, but I'm afraid they are all sold out... :(
The REAL bad part is that I don't even have the specs (I/O Ports, Int #, etc...)
