ZX MAX 128 ZX Spectrum Clone Build

Building another Brand New ZX Spectrum for the charity fundraising. This time a Don Superfo designed ZX MAX 128, a much neater and less cluttered version using a CPLD to replace all the logic from the Harlequin version.
It wasn't all plain sailing with chip programming issues and problems with fake CPLD's

Thanks to Julian for donating the board and various components.
And thanks to ‪@NLKMediaGroup‬ for donating the case and all the other components, also for piecing together the BOM into something even an idiot like me could follow!
Thanks to Chris who volunteers at the RMC cave for providing another flight case.
And thanks to Bobbus64 for donating the DivMMC.
You're all amazing.

This very special ZX Spectrum will be auctioned for charity on the 16th of September 2023 to raise money for the Befriending Scheme
