Interesting ZX Spectrum Next KS3 news, especially for KS1 and KS2 users who will be able to upgrade their Nexts to support the new dual drive system affordably with a new daughterboard designed for that purpose!

Unfortunately due to manufacturing and logistics delays The ZX Spectrum Next KS3 delivery has been pushed to late February.

Personally, I prefer the Next team to deliver a solid release and get it right, instead of getting it rushed and green.

PS/2 Port Functionality on the N-GO

The N-GO board includes a single PS/2 connector that is dual-purpose. It supports both a keyboard and a mouse. Internally, the firmware and FPGA core multiplex the PS/2 data lines, similar to the ZX Spectrum Next Issue 2B that it clones.

You can connect:

• A PS/2 keyboard only, plugged directly into the port; or
• A PS/2 keyboard and mouse together, by using a Y-splitter cable (a PS/2 dual adapter with one connector for the board and two female ports marked “keyboard” and “mouse”).

How to Connect Both

• To use both devices, you need a PS/2 splitter cable (also known as a PS/2 keyboard and mouse Y-adapter).
• It has one 6-pin mini-DIN male plug on one end (to connect to the N-GO board) and two female PS/2 sockets for the keyboard and mouse.

Once connected:

• The keyboard works normally for typing and ZX Spectrum BASIC input.

The mouse is supported through NextZXOS and other software that recognize the Kempston Mouse interface emulation provided through the PS/2 port.

Compatibility Notes

The PS/2 port uses true PS/2 signalling. Passive USB-to-PS/2 adapters only work if the connected USB keyboard or mouse supports dual protocols (PS/2 mode). Many older devices do; most modern ones do not.

Active USB-to-PS/2 converters (with a built-in controller) will also work but can introduce minor lag or require external power.

If you are mounting the board in a case with internal peripherals, you can route the Y-splitter cable inside the case for a cleaner setup.

Last day to back the Fusion Retro Books 2026 annuals! #RetroGaming #Zzap64 #CrashMagazine #ZXSpectrum #SpectrumNext #Commodore64 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zzap642021annual/our-fusion-retro-books-2026-annuals-4-in-total

I very much look forward to receiving my Spectrum Next Issue 3. It would be nice to get it right before Christmas! #spectrumnext

The next next magazine arrived! #ZXSpectrum #SpectrumNext

Buried in the last Spectrum Next KS3 update there's something that I think is not a minor announcement in passing, but possibly something big that could potentially bring hordes of new indie programmers, designers, artists to the Next platform. And hopefully many more people who stand to play some really good games as well.

A PICO-8 core is under development for the Spectrum Next, meaning the Next will be one of the first computers capable of running actual PICO-8 games on real hardware.
