Spectravideo Computers Get A Big Upgrade Spectravideo is not exactly the most well-known microcomputer company, but they were nevertheless somewhat active in the US market from 1981 to 1988. Their computers still have a fanbase of users and modders. Now, as demonstrated by [electricadventures], you can actually upgrade your ancient Spectravideo machine with some modern hardware. The upgrade in question is the SVI-3×8 PicoExpander from [fitch]. It’s based on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W, and is built to work with the Spectravideo 318 and 328 machines. If you’re running a 328, it will offer a full 96kB of additional RAM, while if you’re running a 318, it will add 144 kB more RAM and effectively push the device up to 328 spec. It’s also capable of emulating a pair of disk drives or a cassette drive, with saving and loading images possible over Wi-Fi. It’s worth noting, though, that the PicoExpander pushes the Pico 2W well beyond design limits, overclocking it to 300 MHz (versus the original 150 MHz clock speed). The makers note it is “bleeding edge” hardware and that it may not last as long as the Spectravideo machines themselves. Design files are available on Github if you want to spin up your own PicoExpander, or you can just order an assembled version. We’ve seen a lot of other neat retrocomputer upgrades built around modern hardware, too. Video after the break. [Thanks to Stephen Walters for the tip!]

SVI-3x8 PicoExpander for the Spectravideo SVI-318 & 328 Computers

From the very creative & clever minds in Finland (and of course, fellow original Spectravideo enthusiasts), we have a new expansion device called the SV-3x8 PicoExpander. It adds memory, ROM, Disk & Cassette loading over your local wifi connection.

Games That Defined The Spectravideo Computers (Flipper Slipper, Frantic Freddy, Super Cross Force) YouTube video by electricadventures

The original Spectravideo SV-318/328 computers set new standards (they were used as the basis of the MSX standard) and had a very original and distinctive line-up of games produced by Mass Tael.

Very excited that I have everything needed to assemble a Pico based cartridge for the original Spectravideo SV-318/328 computers. It will allow ROMs to be loaded via wifi! I will be putting a video together of all the assembly and setup details this weekend. #retro #computing #spectravideo #pico

The original #Spectravideo SV-318/328 computers not only set new standards but also had a very original and distinctive line-up of games produced by Mass Tael. These games are unique & often combine a few different themes or graphic ideas into a single game.

3D render of a games cartridge for a SVI 3x8

Inspired by @pointerfunction.bsky.social 's work this is my attempt to model a #spectravideo #svi3x8 cartridge in #fusion360. Some internal features are still missing, and I have to work out how to make a more complicated design at the back.
