Introduction

    Derived from Superfo Harlequin clone project , Superfo has made a version with new features: Important Note :

    This Superfo Harlequin 128K version it is not exactly a Spectrum +128K. Timing , the number of lines per frame and the number of pixels per line are the same as Harlequin 48K (or Spectrum 48K). Briefly we can say that the current version is a Spectrum 48K with 128K RAM, sound chip and uses a Spectrum + 128K ROM.

    It is possible have a more accuracy Spectrum +128K clon doing some modifications designed by Superfo. These modifications require cutting tracks and add some more components.

Note : Superfo recommended to use a good DC-DC converter to avoid small screen interferences produced by typical noise of these type of regulators.

    Another difference with Harlequin 48K or Spectrum 48K is EAR and MIC connector. In Harlequin 128K , MIC connector is used for stereo output sound and EAR connector is use for EAR and MIC signal (It uses stereo jack 3,5" connector).
