Bank Switching... The Timex/Sinclair 2068 Computer, Part IThe TS 2068 contains a thin black rectangular chip that is the “boss” — the Central Processing Unit (CPU).

Hacker's HandbookThe HACKER'S HANDBOOK is written by Hugo Cornwall (an alias?) of England. In this book, Hugo goes into detail of what goes on in the mind of a true "hacker", one who revels in the ability to break into the most secure computer systems. He starts in very simple terms, and describes the subject in language everyone can understand.
In Spec: Trans-Express by Romantic Robot [Review]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 memory will not transfer. The other main feature Is the tape-to-tape use of the program to make back-up copies.Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Timex/Sinclair 2068
In Sync: Exploring 2068 Video ModesOne 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 I 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.Timex/Sinclair 2068, Type-in program

Switchable Spectrum ROM Project for the TS 2068I recently purchased some Spectrum ROMs from Zebra Systems with the hope that I might be able to make my own "ROM-switch" circuit without having to pay the price of those that are commercially available. When I examined the TS-2068's ROM circuitry I realized that this was an easier task than I had originally assumed.Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Timex/Sinclair 2068
