Ram Turbo Joystick Interface

Configuration

• Built: 1984
• Dual joystick ports
• Proprietary expansion slot
• Expansion bus connected through

Trivia

• Despite of its name, it is neither a RAM expansion nor an accelerator, but just a joystick interface.
• This model has an expansion slot for ROM cardridges. This was optional, other Ram Turbo had the slot, but not an edge connector inside.
• The Ram Turbo is said to be able to emulate different joystick interfaces.
• I bought it in a bundle with two ZX Spectrum, and two Interface1.

Restauration Works

• Both D-Sub connectors were massively corroded and have been replaced.
• General cleaning of the case and PCB.

Known Issues

• A part of the case is broken off and missing. However this is only cosmetic, and does not affect functionality.
