@Grogster: Thank you very much!!!

  Volhout said  One thing I remember seeing was a way to safely control external devices with a ZX81. They glued (yes!) LDR's (light dependent resistors) to the monitor screen (blue-tak). And by lighting sections of the screen they controlled relays. I found that so ingenious I remebered. Nothing with edge connectors, and 74LS374 latches, address selectors, opto couplers...not...via the monitor itself.

That's a very clever concept! I have an old TAN generator who works in a similar way...
