| 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. |

| Portuguese Timex T-2068 Computer & Timex Disk Drive System: A Hands-On Evaluation |
Timex is still in the home computer market—in Europe! When Timex bowed out here in early 1984, their computer manufacturing facilities in Portugal continued their work, primarily, so everyone believed, manufacturing for Sinclair in England. Apparently, this was only partly true. Their research and development department was still at work, perfecting the products only hinted |

| Pro/File 2068 Filing System: An Outstanding Value |
When Tom Woods released PRO/FILE 2068 so long ago, it appeared to be quite a file system if you could figure out how to use all of it’s features from the meager instructions included with the program. We were all promised that a comprehensive manual was being compiled and would be shipped to all who |

| Programming TIP |
What does the following line do? At first glance, it would appear that whenever the computer came across this line, it would check to see if A$ 15 “YES”. If not, it would not make x=1 and then because it is a multi-line statement, it would print the message and then STOP. NOT SO! Due |

| Software Review: Zaxxon |
Zaxxon for the 48K Spectrum that is a duplication of the popular arcade game. It comes in a nice plastic package and looks much more “expensive” than a standard cassette case. On the front is a great picture of the game. The documentation is pretty good and explains the game quite well. A person who |

| The Rotronics Wafadrive: An inexpensive alternative to cassettes |
Those of us with ZX81s and TS1000s remember well the long and doubtful loading times of our original machines. To us, the TS2068 with its “fast” loading time was almost miraculous by comparison. But the new soon wore off, and we all cast our eyes longingly to Uncle Clive and the Sinclair Microdrives. Alas, they |
