# 2068/Spectrum Wares

First of all, some user correspondence:

[Bob Welburn](http://localhost/indiv/robert-welburn/) of Lake Worth, FL writes, “I purchased an emulator from [Jack Keene](http://localhost/indiv/jack-keene/), Dallas, TX, and found it to be terrific! Simply insert in the T/S 2068 cartridge port. It has it’s own on/off switch with LED indicator light. Good buy for $35.”

[Syd Wyncoop](http://localhost/indiv/syd-wyncoop/) of Portland, OR writes, “I have just received a new adventure puzzle from Software Supermarket, titled EVERYONE’S A WALLY. It is even better than WALLY for those of you familiar with the first version…by mistake, I found out it runs on the [stock] 2068. I then investigated WALLY, and found it also runs on the [stock] 2068.”

Also, [Dave Maccarone](http://localhost/indiv/dave-maccarone/) of [Damco Enterprises](http://localhost/company/damco-enterprises/) sent the letter that appears at the bottom/right hand column of this page.

In the “What’s New?” Dept.: [Bob Dyl](http://localhost/indiv/bob-dyl/) reports that he is holding a free giveway for all members of his EMC software club. The prize? A brand new Spectrum! Also, Bob reported that [Doug Dewey’s](http://localhost/indiv/doug-dewey/) Sinclair Microdrive Adapter board will be encased (in a plastic box). “[ARTWORX](http://localhost/product/artworx/)“, a graphics design software package, that has been previously offered for the T/S 2068 here in the U.S., is now available in a Spectrum version. To contact Bob Dyl, to receive additional details on his products and software club, write or call- [English Micro Connection](http://localhost/article/english-micro-connection/), 15 Kilburn Court, Newport, RI 02840, (401) 849-3805.

Damco Enterprises has a new emulator/peripheral adapter combination called the “[Rainbow plus Interface](http://localhost/product/rainbow-emulator-bus-interface/)“. One module that plugs into the back of the 2068 will give the user both Spectrum emulation (with an on/off switch), and rear-card interfacing for Spectrum out-board equipment.

Two new items are available for [Rotronics Wafadrive](http://localhost/product/rotronics-wafadrive/) owners. The first one is a 35 page booklet entitled “Engineering Bulletin”. It has chapters that cover info not included in the original user’s guide. or example, routines to assist in making copies of [Tasword](http://localhost/tag/tasword/) and [Masterfile](http://localhost/product/masterfile/) on Wafadrive. The booklet is priced at $4.50 and includes postage and future updates. The second item is a fully-automatic tape transfer utility program called “Trans- Express”. It is reported to allow the user to make copies of commercial programs on cassette tape, to the wafar format. It is priced at $19.95. Both items are available from Damco.

[Russell Electronics](http://localhost/company/g-russell-electronics/) (RD 1, Box 539, Centre Hall, PA 16828) has a “[Gamesmate Joystick Interface](http://localhost/product/romswitch-gamesmate/)” for $19.95. It plugs into the 2068 cartridge port, and works with Spectrum software that has the Kempston joystick option. Use any joystick for the 2068 (Atari-style).

In Search Of Trivial Facts Dept.: Sept. ’85 “Computer Buyer’s Guide” reports that there are now “nearly 3,000 programs for the Commodore 64”. Hold that phone! A 2068/Spectrum has over 5,500 software programs to choose from.
