Card Software Information

Z88 Card and Software Update It is quite rare in the Z88 world when many things happen at the same time, but they have. Here is a variant of the Card Case allowing access to the PCB. Not required for the usual Z88 user.
New Z88 Card Case When Cambridge Computer manufactured the Card Case, they used a mechanical press to squash the top of the 4 plastic pins that held it all together. This was a cost-effective way, but not necessarily the best solution.
The Flash cards supplied later used small self tapping screws. These worked well but occasionally failed leading to “The external card problem.”
Initially, an enterprising Z88 User designed a stronger case using nuts and bolts. This used the existing Cambridge Computer top part of the case. This a picture of the latest 4 bolt design, which is all printed by the 3D printer. This is stronger and has now replaced the 2 bolt design. This ensures that the 38 connections are made giving greater reliability. Initial results from users are encouraging. If you are experiencing this issue, consider changing the case. The Cambridge Computer cards are slightly larger in the corners, but the PCB can be filed down to allow them to fit in the case without compromising any of the circuit.
Note: The case supplied is fully closed.This picture is used to illustrate the way the two halves are bolted together. 3D Printer Details If you have a 3D printer download the 2 bolt design from here. 4 bolt design here and OpenSCAD program download page is here Alternatively, we are offering a service to replace the case on your Z88 cards be it RAM Flash and update OZ software Or EPROM Cards Return your card today with £30 which includes UK Royal Mail Signed For® 2nd Class & VAT
On the other hand, if you are not experiencing problems, you could just to order a new Flash card. These have the latest case and software fitted as standard. Erase your existing flash card and use it to store extra files.
The bolts here are just at the connector end replacing 2 of the pins, preventing the card from coming apart. This is a picture of the previous two bolt card design.
