    Banner, Greeting Card and Sign Designer are programs that give us the chance to be a little creative, and make even more constructive use of your 2068. After spending much time with all three programs, I have come up with a few suggestions to make your final product even more impressive.

    There are two main things you will find you can do with the program. The first is transfer programs from tape to wafer… but not all programs. The main problem with this is that the Wafadrive uses a bit over 2K of the computer’s memory for itself, so that programs that use a lot of

  • In Sync: Exploring 2068 Video Modes
    One of the reasons I bought a 2068 was to use the advanced video modes described in appendix C of the basic manual. I was disappointed when l found it impossible to access these modes using only BASIC. After learning machine code I was able to use the Dual Screen Mode in my BASIC programs.
