Ha! that's my story exactly, except i had the rubber keyboard model. I was typing in listings from magazines on the Speccy when I was 9 years old. Impressed the hell out of my dad's students in evening school :-) They had a bunch of Spectrums with the Interface 2, networked together and my dad taught BASIC programming there. > I thought that some of the games on the Spectrum at least were programmed on other > machines (like early PCs or Apple machines) and transferred over via an interface? > I'm sure I remember reading a feature of some sort in one of the magazines of the > era.
I remember reading a bio on the Darling brothers of Codemasters and I think they said they were doing development on a modified Amstrad CPC, using their own software. I can't find it now, shame because it was a really good read..
