Report on Sam Coupe.

Bowling league management program. This program will not run in RAM: it needs a large variable area. It must be burned to EPROM (made into a DCK image) to run.

Five members of our group, Gene Wilson, Greg Dupuy, Neal Elias, Jon Kaczor and myself travelled to Dayton for the 1994 Computerfest. This show seems to attract more people each year. The flea market area produced books, superanuated programs and hardware and many odd bargains. This show is becoming known as the poor man’s COMDEX.…

I have finished the code to make the Timex run under Gerton’s Z80 emulator and finally debugged the Series One interface code to work with the Timex 2068. The final product is changed greatly from the one that I demonstrated down in Dayton. The machine stack is located where it is suppose to be at…

The Trump Card is simply the most useful single addition you get for the Sinclair QL. It combines a disk interface, 768 kilobyte RAM expansion, Toolkit II for SuperBASIC extensions, a screen dump, static and dynamic ramdisks and a dynamic printer buffer. When you consider that even the lowest cost 512 Kb RAM expansion and…

This program for the 2068 uses the SOUND command to dial touch tone numbers. It has a 20 number memory and redial. You must have the mic of the phone next to the 2068 speaker.

Two short programs demonstrate attribute settings in the display file.

Two short graphics demos.

Using the second display file for color attributes and a string version of VAL().

The Metacomco C package for the QL includes SuperBASIC extensions for emulating UNIX when running C programs. The commands are CRUN and CRUN_W. Two major features of the UNIX operating system are the ability to “redirect” the input and the output of a program, and the ability to read the arguments passed to a program.

Many people who use the 2068 have generally no idea what the commands OPEN# and CLOSE# are for and what they can do. These commands were intended for use with the Microdrives, but we can use them an entirely different way.

Timelines….BBS was founded out of frustration of not having a Timex/Sinclair BBS that I could log on to that spoke my. language (Sinclairees). When I bought my TS-2068 computer and TS-2050 modem I thought that I could do some modeming like the Apple and I.B.M. computer users do. What I found was that there were…
