Memotech has just released three (four if you count the keyboard) new products. These three new add-ons are firmware, which is software that resides permanently on an EPROM.
MEMOCALC is a spreadsheet analysis program which enables users to perform complex number crunching routines with ease. Up to 7,000 numbers with up to 250 rows or 99 columns can be specified with a 64K RAM pack. Capabilities include entering new data to your formula and recalculating.
MEMOTEXT is a word processor program with full text editing on the screen and full control over output. 80 character lines, upper and lower case, single and double size characters are all available.
MEMOPAK ASSEMBLER is for the serious programmer of machine code for the TS1000. Full editing allows manipulation of individual lines and exact placing of source and machine code. Routines may be merged or listed (screen or printer). The assembler mode handles all standard Z80 mnemonics, hex or decimal, comments and user selected labels.
Memotech has put their disk drive on the “back burner” due to lack of demand. Timex’s disk drive will probably come out after their color computer. Other companies do have disk drives available for the ZX81 and TS1000 now. Check advertisements in SYNTAX and SYNC magazines.
