Kempston joysticks, AMS Mouse, Disciple disk interface, Interface 1 andMicrodrives, SamRam (author's own ROM with a basic MON-like debugger).2. Loads .SNA, .Z80 and .SLT snapshots, including level-loader support, and from.TAP tape files and .MDR microdrive files.3. Saves .Z80 snapshots and to .TAP tape and .MDR microdrive files.4. Loads from sample tapes (.VOC) and direct from Sound Blaster MIC input,or from parallel port using a custom interface (all these only in theregistered version, and the parallel port interface itself costs extra -though a diagram is provided if you want to build your own). Contrary towhat several people think, this support *does* allow loading of turbo-loaders, speedlock games, etc.5. Requires Hercules, CGA, EGA or VGA.6. Can be up to 200% Spectrum speed on a 486SX/25, depending on emulation7. Shareware. Registered version has real tape support and speed setting canbe altered (with v3.04+, shareware version has this enabled for only five minutes;several utilities (for converting from various formats etc.) and source code8. Most user-friendly emulator; very good menu-interface and documentation.Good high-resolution colour emulation (rainbowing!). Version 3.04 now has muchimproved keyboard handling in Windows, and is now actually useable in thatenvironment as a result; v3.05 has some more general useability improvements andsome bugfixes, including a fix to the dreaded sampled speech playing much too sloooowly bug.9. 128K sound can be a bit wobbly.10. Considered by many to be the best emulator available for any platform; certainlyone of the best DOS-based ones with features unavailable in other emulators.Earlier versions were pretty good but do not compete with version 3.04+, whichhas several useful bugfixes and SLT support. Unregistered copies of previousversion could not be slowed down, so many people used an illegal copy of 3.02
