| Editor's Doings | Well, was the June issue worth waiting for? I ventured over to a professional print shop, had 500 copies made and not only was pleased with the price, the quality was EXCELLENT! So, keep our subscriber list above 500 and we have it made. I am still experimenting with print styles and sizes and hope | |

| Pi-Network Design Program | These programs might be of interest too some of the QZX subscribers. The program labeled “PI” draws a PI network and labels each component. It then instructs you as inputs to make. The end result is of course the value of the L and C in uH and pf. The program labeled “L Network” does | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program |
| Products in Review | The first review is on Scientific Software’s TS100/ZX81 Assembler Debugger (ZXAD) (See the unclassified ads for ordering info) While I have used, both for enjoyment and on engineering jobs, many assemblers, debuggers, and monitors; I have only tried two on my Sinclair. Note my comments in an early issue on the serious shortcomings of the | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| QSL Printing Program | Here is a compact QSL printing program which may be handy in the ham-shack. It is suitable for any situation where the users call is five characters or less. Long calls such as mine will not work (which is why I had to borrow the call of our publisher for the sample). | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program |

| Using Z-XLR8 with 32K | Having several large programs requiring 16K or more of RAM, I was very interested in the Z-XLR8 fast LOAD/SAVE program advertised in QZX. I sent Advanced Interface Designs a check and promptly received the cassette version. | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| Votrax Speech Synthesizer | Here is a ‘term paper’ written by one of my students who tackled the job of interfacing the Votrax SC-01A chip to his TS1000. He is presently working on a nice ‘menu driven’ program, similar to that described for the Parrot, which will give him a lot more versatility. | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program |
