| Assembly Parameter Passing |
I am writing a assembly language routine that needs to send data back to a BASIC program and to get data from a BASIC program. Getting data from the routine is fairly simple if it a single value. Getting data to the routine is more complex as the USR call does not allow for arguments. |

| Comparing ZXbasic and TimeMachine |
There are two available BASIC compilers for the T/ S 2068, TimeMachine and ZXbasic. TimeMachine is native on the T/S 2068 and ZXbasic is a cross compiler, written in Python, that runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This article will do a short comparision between them. |

| Editorial |
At the Timex/Sinclair User Group zoom meetings there has been discussion of a printed magazine with ZXzine suggested as the source. I am hoping to get others to write for this print version to make it more encompassing of the T/S scene. |

| Lunar Lander |
Recently the book “50 years of Text Games” by Aaron Reed, was released via Kickstarter and I was able to get a copy. The book starts off with some of early and better known text-based computer games (at least for someone that got into computers in the early 80’s). The second game documented is ROCKET, |

| Mandlebrodt on the T/S 2068 |
In looking for something to do I found myself reading back issues of SyncWare News for articles passed over the first time around. The Mandelbrot Plot program in Volume 3 Number 5 caught my eye. Those who read the article by Mr. Nachbaur will remember that the Mandelbrot program creates “computer art”, mathematically created patterns |

| OS-64 |
I thought I would tinker with Zebra’s OS-64 cartridge (as a DOCK file) with Zesarux emulator. I have not used it so I wanted to see what it could do. |

| TimeMachine on Zesarux |
I thought I would take another crack at TimeMachine, the Basic compiler for the T/S 2068 and with some pointers from David Anderson, I was able to get it working. Here is how I got it working on Zesarux. |

| Two Books on BASIC |
In the last year I picked up two books by Mark Jones Lorenzo, “Endless Loop: The History of the BASIC Programming Language” and “Gosub Without Return: Between the Lines of the BASIC Programming Language.” |

| ZX81 "Mouse" |
Something recently got me thinking about having a mouse on a ZX81. At first I was thinking of a traditional mouse with a movable arrow. This might be possible with hi-res graphics, but I’ve never tried using hi-res graphics. |
