Connected a ZX Spectrum +3's RGB to a RGB-to-SCART converter, and then 
connected the SCART to a SCART-to-HDMI converter. Feeding the HDMI to a 
ATSC television and using a 110-to-220V AC converter for the power brick 
worked; a ZX Spectrum +3 is on the air in Maryland, USA. If I remember 
right, I had last fired it up in 1989 in a 220V AC PAL country.

I am wondering if it is possible to have something like a Raspberry Pi's 
headphone socket play back .TAP or .TZX files into the +3 so that the +3 
thinks it is hearing from a tape recorder. I am sure it has been done; 
would be grateful for pointers (and maybe even a MicroSD RPi image) 
towards a short-cut to save me trouble.

Thanks,
