I woke up in the middle of the night after I realised that Uncle Clive missed out on the one thing that would have made the Sinclair #ZXSpectrum a serious business machine - Including a number pad on the #Microdrive!

I am sure if the Interface 1 had the Microdrive port on both sides then it wouldn't just be a hit with the lefthanded users too!

A close-up of the slightly tatty looking Microdrive with the number pad on it. This has actually been upgraded to take an SD card. The grey rubber number keys also feature the symbols, keywords and colours of the ZX Spectrum, almost as if they had been badly photoshopped on there from the Spectrum next to it.
