Here I show you the ZXPand interface for the Sinclair ZX81 home computer, which offers 32K of expanded memory and instant file access to files stored on a SD memory card. The ZXPand should also work on an US Timex-Sinclair TS/1000 and with some limitations on a TS/1500 machine. There is also a kit available to get that working on a Sinclair ZX80. We also will have a quick look at the optional AY sound board which offers a Joystick port.

The Guardian 2014-02-07The ZX81 was a home computer produced by Sinclair Research and manufactured in Scotland by Timex Corporation. It was launched in the United Kingdom in March 1981 as the successor to Sinclair's ZX80 and was designed to be a low-cost introduction to home computing for the general public. It was hugely successful and more than 1.5 million units were sold before it was eventually discontinued. The ZX81 found commercial success in many other countries, notably the United States, where Timex manufactured and distributed it under licence. Timex later produced its own versions of the ZX81 for the US market – the Timex Sinclair 1000 and Timex Sinclair 1500. Unauthorised clones of the ZX81 were produced in a number of countries.
The ZX81 was designed to be small, simple, and above all cheap, using as few components as possible to keep the cost down. Video output was to a television set rather than a dedicated monitor. Programs and data were loaded and saved onto audio tape cassettes. It had only four silicon chips on board and a mere 1 kB of memory. The machine had no moving parts – not even a power switch – and used a touch-sensitive membrane keyboard for manual input. The ZX81's limitations prompted the emergence of a flourishing market in third-party peripherals to improve its capabilities. Such limitations, however, achieved Sinclair's objective of keeping the cost of the machine as low as possible. Its distinctive design won awards in the UK and abroad.[examples needed]
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
[Verse 1]
When the people of the power meet the power of the
people,
Then it changes every hour of the day,
All you need is one man with his head in the sand,
To rise up and say,
It's the regime of a beauty queen,
You gotta come clean cause you're a liar,
But if you stand up and fight for the things that are
right,
Then you'll find one day you start a fire,
And when that flame burns,
The people start to learn,
It's all you need to take you higher,
Higher than the trees and the birds and the bees,
It's the flame that we call desire, yeah
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
[Verse 2]
It's the man at the docks working off the clock,
Who's a time bomb ready to explode,
Can we find a way to make it through the day,
Please tell me cause I don't know,
And then one day he goes boom,
His mind begins to break,
The weight upon his shoulders is too much for him to
take,
Sick of living his life by the edge of a knife,
Yeah he's gone
Said he's gone,
Never to return,
'Cause you know his flame will never ever burn again,
again
Again, again
Again, again
Again, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
[Verse 3]
I was on my way just the other day,
When a man said I've got a problem,
I have everything that money can bring,
But I can't stop the wind from blowing,
I could sympathize with the pain in his eyes,
When I told him he'd fade to nothing,
You can try to change,
When you pass the blame,
But you know it's the choice of the chosen, yeah
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Said it's the choice of the chosen, yeah
Know that we got only a little time so like it or not,
we gonna be drinking wine
no need to stop, till we see the sunshine
start at the top, till we ease our worried minds
Know that im lost with out you
think of the cost of what you do
to me you really mean something
running away will fix nothing
im begging you please reconsider
with you here life is much better
know that i'll wait until im old and gray
just to see your face again
know that i'll wait until im old and gray
just to see your face again
Know that im watching, every minute
know what the clock says, but im not finished
thinking of stopping, to rest our weary heads
the only option, thinking of times we've had
Bring me a glass of your finest wine
i want to dance, till the morning time
bring us some food, got to feed our minds
drink and laugh till we feel right
i'm just to blind to see the sign
we're losing what we've made
know that ill wait until im old and gray
just to see your face again
know that ill wait until im old and gray
just to see your face again
Bring me a glass of your finest wine
i want to dance till the morning time
bring us some food, got to feed our minds
drink and laugh till we feel right
we're losing what we've made
know that i'll wait until im old and gray
just to see your face again
know that i'll wait until im old and gray
just to see your face again
know that i'll wait until im old and gray
I know they say
That you can always find a better way
But I'm not fazed
To not get there
There I stay
Blew all the years in my own way
Own way
I know it's true
Sometimes they get the best of you
They got me too
Blamed me for the things I didn't do
So what's the use
Of staying the same when the same is the reason you lose
You lose
I know they say
Like the wind, I will change
Like I care anyway
That I'm never the same
I'm different every day
It's the way that I am
It's the way I'll remain
Like the dust in the wind
I'll be gone again, whoa
So where's the light
Leave me alone, I think I'll be fine
In my own time
Cos if I need advice, don't think I'll listen to your lies
Cos you love being right
When you're wrong, you act so surprised
Surprised
Don't follow me
All that I am is all that I need to be
And with no one around, maybe then I will see
That being alone is just an empty relief
Relief
I know they say
Like the wind, I will change
Like I care anyway
That I'm never the same
I'm different every day
It's the way that I am
It's the way I'll remain
Like the dust in the wind
I'll be gone again, whoa
I'll be gone again, whoa
So the hours run away
You're getting smaller by the day
But the shelters, they keep you away
I hope you're ready for the breakaway
So don't succumb to mist and dust
Because you know they misconstrue
And the mind plays games to stay in frame
As it put those locks on you
When the lights come on, the chains come off
And watch it start to flow
I hope you're ready for the breakaway
[Chorus]
We're in the clear
We're in the clear, yeah, yeah
We're in the clear
Yeah...
So the hours, they run away
But the shelters, they keep you away
Now the hours, they run away
Hope you're ready for the breakaway, yeah
[Chorus]
We're in the clear
We're in the clear
We're in the clear
We're in the clear
So the hours, they run away
But the shelters, they keep you away
Now the hours, they run away
Hope you're ready for the breakaway, yeah
[Chorus]
We're in the clear
We're in the clear
We're in the clear
We're in the clear
I wish that I could be all that you want of me
I wish that I could see all that you see in me
I wish that I could be all that you want of me
I wish that I could see all that you see in me
[Chorus]
But you're making it hard for me, yeah, yeah
You're making it hard for me, yeah
But you're making it hard for me, yeah, yeah
You're making it hard for me, yeah, yeah
I saw the way you took it on yourself just to push it away
I wondered how I'm supposed to stay if there ain't a doubt
I'm holding on to every piece of light like the night to dawn
But you can't be seen, though you say it's me that tomorrow brings
[Chorus]
Cos you're making it hard for me, yeah, yeah
You're making it hard for me, yeah
You're making it hard for me, yeah, yeah
You're making it hard for me, yeah, yeah
I know it's best so why don't we just put this all to rest
But I'll take the blame, we're only gonna wake this beast again
Go let it out
To hell with the rest
Cos now I know what you have
Is a little at bay
[Chorus]
Cos you're making it hard for me, yeah, yeah
You're making it hard for me, yeah
But you're making it hard for me, yeah, yeah
Now I'm stuck inside this motion
I cannot control
Feel like the waves of the ocean
On top me roll
So can I come up for air
There must be somebody swimming near
To pull me up
I can't breathe down here
But just long enough
So I loosen my fear
That I won't come up again
That I'll sink to the bottom of what I am
At least I'll go down
With a drink in my hand
Maybe that was the problem
To begin
Hold on, cause I'm addicted and I can't change
Oh the path I walk it remains the same
So if I get swept away, playing this game
Remember all that I used to be
Not what I became
Cause I'm addicted and I can't change
Yeah the path I walk it remains the same
So if I get swept away, playing this game
Remember all that I used to be
Not what I became
Oh yeah
Pop the lid
Fill me up and let us swim through my head
Get a sip
No, I can't do that you know
I'm unwell, yeah
But it ain't that easy
Ball and chain attached to my anatomy
Well buried deep inside of me
So far down
That I cannot see
It's so far down
That I cannot see
Cause I'm addicted and I can't change
Yeah the path I walk it remains the same
So if I get swept away, playing this game
Remember all that I used to be
Not what I became
Cause I'm addicted and I can't change
The path I walk it remains the same yeah
So if I get swept away, playing this game
Remember all that I used to be
Not what I became
Not what I became
Oh what I became
Yeah
Ooh, whoa
Look into my eyes
It's the start of my demise
Everything I know and trust
But we shall rise
And much to their surprise
Cause we are not the ones
Whose time has begun, yeah
This is forever, yeah
Baby, they come, they go
But you know I know
This is forever, yeah, yeah
They come, they go
But you know I know, yeah
People are our lives
Till they die and send their knives
The stoning of their words
And the malice in their minds
But we shall rise
And much to their surprise
Cos we are not the ones
Whose time has begun, yeah
This is forever, yeah
Baby, they come, they go
But you know I know
This is forever, yeah, yeah
They come, they go
But you know I know
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever, yeah
Baby, they come, they go
But you know I know
This is forever, yeah, yeah
Baby, they come, they go
But you know I know
Forever
Forever
So who am I today
I'm caught beneath the shadow
Well, nothing I can say
For who I'll be tomorrow
Just tie me downward bound
Throw me on the tracks
But you still wanna run me over
And when I close my eyes
She pulls me to the side
To tell me it ain't over
Cos I'm not lost
I just want you to find me
Cos I'm not lost
I just want you to find me
So what is going on
Someone told me I was strong
Cos I am not myself
And myself is not my own
So cover me in red
Raise me overhead
But you still won't see me there
And when I close my eyes
She pulls me to the side
To tell me that I'm near
Cos I'm not lost
I just want you to find me
I'm not lost
I just want you to find me
I'm not lost
I just want you to find me
I'm not lost
I just want you to find me
Yeah...
Yeah, yeah...
Won't you find me
Yeah, yeah
So who am I today
I'm caught beneath the shadow
Well, nothing I can say
For who I'll be tomorrow
So tie me downward bound
Throw me on the tracks
But you still wanna run me over
And when I close my eyes
She pulls me to the side
To tell me that I'm over
Cos I'm not lost
Ooooh...yeeeahh
Its taken all your life
To get over all this strife
Don't let them tell you
How to treat your life..
Bit of sunshine turns to day
And the darkness starts to fade
Won't you stand up, rebel
Won't you show them you know how
CHORUS:
Won't you rise up,won't you rise up
Won't you rise up, baby it's a revolution
Won't you rise up,won't you rise up
Won't you rise up, baby it's a revolution....
Wooaa....OOoooo
Won't you rise up,won't you rise up
Won't you rise up, baby it's a revolution
OOoooo..it's a revolution...yeah
Verse 2:
I'm calling out to you,
Stand up for what is true
Don't be afraid to fight
You gotta stand up for your right
I'm calling out to you,
Stand up for what is true
Don't be afraid to fight
You gotta stand up for your right
Won't you rise up,won't you rise up
Won't you rise up, baby it's a revolution
Won't you rise up,won't you rise up
Won't you rise up, baby it's a revolution
Its taken all your life
To get over all this strife
Don't let them tell you

Bit of sunshine turns to day
And the darkness starts to fade
Won't you stand up, rebel
Won't you show them you know how

Won't you rise up rise up yeah
Won't you rise up..(yeah)
Won't you rise up
Won't you rise up
So he's going across to London
But she never crossed his mind
Eyes look to the future
But don't see what he left behind
She can't take it any longer
Now she's holding on for dear, dear life
So you should know that you got to let him go
Then it's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
Outer change is for the better
And we all go different ways
But we all need something, oh, to hold
But if change is what you're after
Then she won't get in your way
But they all need something, oh, to hold
So she laughs at all the promises
And she smiles at what she's got
Hoping no one notices
That she's something that she's not
Now her thoughts are getting clouded
By the crown that's on her head
But I can't stay if you're drifting away
Oh, you're trying instead
[Chorus]
Outer change is for the better
And we all go different ways
But we all need something, oh, to hold
But if change is what you're after
Then she won't get in your way
But they all need something, oh, to hold
To hold
Something, oh, to hold
[Chorus]
Outer change is for the better
And we all go different ways
But we all need something, oh, to hold
But if change is what you're after
Then she won't get in your way
But they all need something, oh, to hold
Something, oh, to hold, yeah
Only to be, I live in expectancy
No wonder it feels like this wasn't meant for me
Though my mind is so confined
That there ain't no point in reasoning,
Now that it's clear to see,
It was all in front of me
And I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Yeah yea, I'll live just turning pages
Yeah, well I know that it's worth the ride
Ain't it good to be alive?
So what will it be?
My dreams are my company
To lose what is me,
I follow the path I see.
My mind is so confined
That I don't even know where to begin.
But it took me so long to find
That I can leave it all behind.
Cause I don't got everything I'd ever need
Yeah yea, I'll live just turning pages
Yeah, well I know that it's worth the ride
Ain't it good to be alive?
Cause only to be,
Was all that you've got from me
You told me it's real,
And nothing comes easily.
Cause that was the truth, I was losing all my youth
To a world that's fit for someone else
Yeah, I'll live just turning pages
Yeah, well I know that it's worth the ride
Yeah, I'll live just turning pages, yeah
Yeah, but I know it was worth the ride
