Can a ZX40a run ZX40 compiled basic code?

Discussion specific to the DIP and TQFP packaged ZX devices like the ZX-40, ZX-44, ZX-32 and ZX-328 series. The differences between these devices is primarily the packaging and pinout so most issues will apply to all devices.

If someone compiles BASIC code for the ZX40 and sends that to me will it run properly on the ZX40a?

Unfortunately not. The I/O addresses, starting RAM address and other details are different between the underlying mega32 and mega644 processors. Consequently, code must be compiled for the specific ZX model on which it will be run.

Thanks, good to know. Looks like I'll be placing another order in a few weeks. :-)
