| Daisy Be Good - II | We continue discussion of Bill Jones’ suite of Word Processors for the TS-2068. So, get out your disk, Daisy.B6, Disk No.1. Upon AUTOSTART, copyrighted banner comes up with a little tune and a request, that you “Press A Key…”. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Daisy Update | We continue to describe the operations of our new and improved Daisy word processor, using our TS2068, LKDOS (L3), and 9-pin printer Brother M-1109. This time, we talk about the Quickie Menu. Just as the Daisy dB Manager comes up in Bill Jones’ original formulation, only when Turbo = 1 or Turbo = 3 holds, so the Quickie Menu appears only in In+Ed.B6 and ManlAd.B6, respectively. | |
| From the Chairman's Disk | Saw this in an electronic magazine an page 13 of Electronics Now, February 1995 “but can a non-professional really wade through multi-megabytes of code? That is why a number of hobbyists are rediscovering the eight-bit systems and early IBM personal computers. | |
