I own this thing, it's a russian machine known as Byte (Or Байт), built back in the soviet days. In effect it is a clone of the Spectrum with some extra features and support for 9-Pin joystick, no idea about compatibility yet but I am determined to get it to do something (other than the fact it will play a dogs waltz if you hold ЫВА and turn it on), main reason is that I have owned two spectrums and never used them because the keyboard stopped working and no amount of poking thinks in there made them work, this thing wants to work but it outputs a weird SECAM D/K signal on the RF that nothing I have recieves properly.
Anyway, I keep meaning to try and figure out the pinouts for the RGB port but figured I'd ask here in case anyone has any idea what those are, as it would save me some time. If not, doesn't matter, it was worth a try.
I suspect the tape connector will just need a 5-Pin DIN to my tape recorder, I have one, it's just the RGB I wonder about. Thanks for any help.
