| Cassette Tape Load/Save Monitor | One problem is the feedback generated by most cassettes recorders. So you have to pull one of the EAR plugs when SAVEing. A second is feeding the cassette recorder too strong a signal. For the ZX81/TS1000 this is seldom a problem, its signal is weak, The TS2068 puts out a relatively ear-splitting signal. | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
| D.U.S. Disk Utility Software | Comments about one of the programs that I have used. If you have a virgin copy of D.U. S. do not ever remove the write protect sticker. Any dedicating to the programs should be done on a copy disk. Get the copy done first, copy by any means the program COPYII. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

| From the Chairman's Disk | Sometimes I am like a computer – I sit here with a blank mind and I have a column to write. But sitting at the left upper corner of my T/S 2068 is a joystick that I bought for $2.00 at the Ft. Wayne HamFest and ComputerFest on November 13th. | |

| MSDOS to Larken and MSCRIPT | I have done this several times using two different schemes. The last time I took a file done on a MAC in MSWord, moved it across a network SAVEd as an ASCII file to an IBM and then to Larken. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

| TS-2068 Talks to a PC by Modem | It has been a challenge to have a 2068 communicate directly via modem with a PC modem to transfer text files. The procedure was to upload files to a BBS by one computer and then download with the other, until Bob Swoger spent an evening with me to tackle this problem. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Turbo Switch for the ZX-81 | The whole idea of experimenting with a “TURBO Switch” came from reading the book “EXPLORER’S GUIDE TO THE T/S 1000” by Mike Lord. On page 58(1) of this book under the heading “Keyboard Scanning” he tells how the system variable MARGIN may be changed from 55 to 31 by taking pin 22 of the ULA chip HIGH or LOW. | Sinclair ZX81 |
| Using a 16K Memotech Memopak That Has Switches | This was in a letter that I wrote to Gilliam Parrish in regards to using a 16K MEMOTECH MEMOPAK. At the Dayton ComputerFest I did find a 16K Memotech ram module of the latter manufacture with the DIP switches which are located where the oval opening in the back is. | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
