| 8K of Very Low Power CMOS RAM In aWorld Class Computer For Only $40 | Here is a method for installing a Toshiba TCS5S65 PL-15 Very Low Power CMOS SK X B RAM ($40 from Microprocessors Unlimited) in a TS1000 computer. Two of the great advantages of installation are the reduced power consumption (maybe as much as a 30% cut) and the absence of RAM pack wobble and crash. Who | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| A Loading Aid That Works | You may be interested in a TSZX loading aid which really works; further, it allows one to easily align ones tape heads (the latter has been the source of all my load problems with the TS1000): no tape recorder has been properly aligned when purchased. | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| A Review of Sinware's "STEP" | STEP is a program from Sinware. The ad says STEP is the ultimate debugging tool for programs in BASIC. I cannot say if this is true or not, But it sure comes close.

| AC Circuit Analysis Review | This is the review of the AC CIRCUIT ANALYSIS program I promised you last month, but didn’t get a chance to do. The program is simply called AC CIRCUIT ANALYSIS PROGRAM and it functions like a miniature version of ECAP. Anyone who knows what ECAP is can skip to the next paragraph. For those who | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |

Then you could easily follow and learn from Dick Scoville’s machine language tutorial which starts in this issue. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Dunbar Aitkens: Silent Conversation and The Glass Plate Game | The Glass Plate Game is a conversational one. Idea cards and markers are used, and the challenge is to build patterns of thought by finding interesting connections between the cards. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Excellent Book by Fred Blechman: Timex Sinclair 2068 Beginner/Intermediate Guide | If I were selecting an interesting, affordable textbook suitable far beginners or intermediates, ages 10 to adult, this would be the book.

| Phil Kegelmeyer's Edge Detection Programs Demonstrate Artificial Intelligence | This is really a collection of short programs, reached by appropriate ‘GOTO’ commands. The first part of the program gives the appropriate line numbers names which are easier to remember, and dimensions the arrays. | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| RAMPAGER: A Review | Timex/Sinclair 1000 | |
| Ray Kingsley Takes a Look Inside a Timex Cartridge and Adds Other Comments | Inside [a Timex Cartridge] one finds three blobs of what looks like high quality tar on a circuit board. Apparently they must weld down the silicon wafers themselves, which gives them a pretty good proprietary grip. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
