Addendum:

I've also come in possession of not one, but THREE 48k Spectrums, I
just tested one last night (with jwt.tzx, of course), and it loaded it
from my soundcard (gotta love WinTZX) nicely. This of course means
that I'll probably have to try out some 48k JSW games on the real
thing (a first for me!)
