| 2068 + Unite de Disquette | Everyone knows that one of the major problems with the ZX-81 and TS-1000 was saving and loading programs. It’s also known that the TS-2068 is a significant improvement in speed and reliability, but programs are generally much longer. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

| A & J Model 2000 Stringy Floppy Micro-drive | For those of you who own the TS2068 and bought it in anticipation of the micro-drives, the wait is over. The interface just plugs on to the back of the computer as would the printer. It has a connector on the back to allow for the attaching of the 2050 printer or modem. There are | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

| A Hands-On Review: Timex 2068 | This New Color Computer Is Easy To Use, And Powerful, Too The new Timex Sinclair 2068 Color Computer weighs in at less than three-and-a-half pounds, but it’s no lightweight when it comes to computer power. It compares favorably with other computers in its price range, and some of its features are generally found in only | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

This board allows you to add up to 6000 bytes of “pseudo rom” to your computer in 2k blocks. The chips which are used are static 6116 rams.

| A Review of the Sinclair Spectrum Plus | The latest home computer from Sinclair is the ZX Spectrum. What sets this computer ahead of the other Spectrums is the larger keyboard with extra dedicated keys. The Spectrum looks a lot like the QL small business computer but with a few less keys and no microdrives attached to the side. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

| Adding a "Real" Keyboard to Your 2068 | Probably the most common complaint I hear about the 2068 is about the keyboard. Although it does work well, it lacks the feel of a full sized keyboard as found on Commodore, Atari, and others, not to mention some of the missing (single dedicated) keys such as the period, comma, semi-colon, and slash keys. In | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Additional Notes on the Hardware of the T-2068 & Disk Drive | Disassembling the T-2068 reveals a circuit board smaller than found in the American computer. It is a very professionally designed board with no wire jumpers. A stand alone RF modulator replaces the video/RF modulator circuitry of the TS-2068. There are no trim pots or adjustable components except for a fine tune in the RF modulator. | Timex Computer 2068, Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Additional Notes on the Spectrum Plus | While Joe was busy checking out the “mechanics” of the Spectrum Plus, I was looking it over in other ways. First, the Spectrum Plus comes with an excellent manual printed in full color. Only 80 pages counting the index, the User Guide does not cover as much as the 2068 manual does (no sound synthesizer | Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

| AERCO FD-68 Disc Drive System for the 2068 Part 2 | So far, Aerco has upgraded their EPROM to version .87. Only two features are not included at this date. They are the .CHR (Character Array) and the .DAT (Numeric Array). This means that you can’t save and load string type data. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| AMX Mouse | From the time I first got my hands on the Zebra Graphics Tablet, I have been investigating the use of a mouse for my TS2068.

| An Update on Using the Portuguese Disk Drive | As I write this, I have had the Portuguese disk drive system for about 6 weeks. My experience with the system continues to be very positive. The only recurring problem has been a cable that sometimes does not make connection (as in TS-1000 to 16K ram pack problems). Meanwhile, I am now saving all my | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

| Big Bytes For Little Bucks | Time for computing? The Timex unit is easy to program, thanks to both its built-in graphic commands and, to a lesser extent, its keyboard. The keyboard is a mixed blessing. Rather than full-size typewriter keys, Timex uses small rectangular keys, so the keyboard is referred to in the industry as “chiclet” style.
