May 15, 2022 decided to create a ZX-81 compatible version of my PSG board for mt ZX-81 clone the ZX81+38 or a real ZX-81

Today I got news that a ZX-81 enthusiast built my ZX-81+35 and the supporting PSG board, and patched the AY-3-8912 I/O port based sd-card interface to make it work, by adding a few transistors, and then also wrote SD-card drivers based on this interface, and added a menu driven interface so you can load games (.ROM files) from a regular SD-Card. It was a shock that the sd-card interface I had imagined, but had abandoned as impractical could really work, and I saw that with the addition of 32K RAM and 16K of ROM (OTP ROM) this could be a very great expansion board for any ZX-81 (or my own ZX81+38 clone). So I started this new project!
