Timex/Sinclair 3068

A few years after Timex left the computer business, Bill Skyrme, a former engineer from Timex, described the TS3068 at meeting of the Long Island Sinclair Timex (LIST) users group.

Skyrme revealed that the Timex engineering unit, during the production of the TS1500 and TS2068, had been planning for the next stage of home computing. The computer they designed was designated TS3000, production units were to be TS3068.

Three engineering prototypes were built.

The computer operated at 20Mhz, which was fast for the time. According to Skyrme, it would have had 1 megabyte RAM, virtual memory, 256 colors and high-resolution graphics. “The only machine that would be in its class today is the Amiga,” claimed Skyrme. The computer would have retailed for $199.95.
