Acorn Electron – Plus 1 Mini Expansion SD Interface & More

I have a lot of nostalgia for the Acorn Electron and have owned one for a long time, including a decent amount of software, including some on cartridge. Unfortuneately you can’t use cartridges without the Plus 1 Expansion unit (which also adds a joystick port as well). These are extremely hard to come by, especially here in Australia. But the community has come to the rescue with a Raspberry Pi based Plus 1 Mini Expansion Inteface that brings the above features and much more! Lets check it out together.
