Greetings to all MB03+ fans!
Probably the most common introductory question we got was "What is the EXTRA button for?".
It is now clear that this will be a button that can show a lot of what is happening in your ZX Spectrum and also in the MB03+ connected to it.

This functionality started with the character mode and bars of AY/YM-chips and the GeneralSound soundcard channels,
continued with displaying gigascreen effects and finally settings in the setup reached the maps of ports and memory segments.
Currently there are three so-called "LED-maps" in the MB03+.
Two maps show 1KB areas where the CPU is running and where the CPU is reading and writing from/to memory.
The third map shows the internal processes of the Spectrum (or the Pentagon with 512KB RAM!), incl. divide and flash memory settings.
Please see details in the Hood's technical description
