| Computus Interruptus, Part 4 | As mentioned last time, the interrupt driven print-screen program we’ve been playing with is just about “all used up”, as a learning tool.

| From the Editor | Well, the May, June, July, August issue of SINCUS NEWS is finally “put to bed”. I have violated one of my cardinal rules “the newsletter shall be mailed promptly”. To the membership of SINCUS I apologize-I just got swamped in my new job. | |

| TS1000 Keyboard Addition | Here’s a nice beginner’s project for owners of ZX-81s, TS 1000’s and TS 1500’s. Although numerous keyboard expansion articles have been published, all require opening the computer to get at five signals that don’t go to the rear connector. | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
