Back in 2019, was the first time my Z88 was powered up after quite some time , you can watch the previous video here:

There was no actual damage, just a keyboard ribbon disconnected and ever since, i wanted to test the ability to connect the machine to a PC and transfer files via serial cable. Serial standard was not followed, Z88 uses its own design and pin-out so, i needed to built my own cable.
Z88 can get also connected to a BBC, a Mac or any other via the right cable.
