# The Disciple Disk-Operating System

The Disciple Interface is primarily a disk interface, but it also offers several other features which probably make it the best value in disk interfaces for the Sinclair Spectrum currently available. The Disciple is intended for use on a 48K Spectrum. To use it on a TS2068, it requires the addition of a “twister” board and a Spectrum ROM or Emulator. I have found that the Disciple works with every combination of Spectrum ROM, ROMSWITCH, Emulator, and twistor board I have tried. I even had success with the TK9OX ROM from the Brazilian clone of the Spectrum. In this respect, the Disciple is much more tolerant than the Sinclair Microdrives.
