About this manual

The DivIDE Plus Quick Start Guide explains how to connect the interface to a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, prepare a compatible Compact Flash card, and load or save programs. It covers required hardware (Compact Flash, optional hard‑disk or CD‑drive) and the jumper setting needed for different Spectrum models.

The guide also describes the supported firmware options (ResiDOS and MDOS3), how to install additional packages such as TAPEIO, and provides troubleshooting steps for common issues like an unrecognised Compact Flash card or a Spectrum that fails to start with the interface.
