# Timex/Sinclair Online User Group meeting March 7, 2022

In this meeting, [Greg Bennett](http://localhost/indiv/greg-bennett/) talks about his implementation of Wordle on the ZX81, [Jeff Burrell](http://localhost/indiv/jeff-burrell/) talks about his work on using UnoDOS and divMMC hardware to potentially lead to a 2068-specific divMMC. Challenges abound!

We also talked about using Tim Swenson’s script and zmakebas to transpile ASCII BASIC code to Sinclair BASIC that’ll load natively on a 2068, 1000 or an emulator, a piece of hardware from Timex that was originally in their in-store demonstrator kiosks.

- [SAMs Photofacts TS 2068 repair manual](https://www.timexsinclair.com/book/cc19-computerfacts-technical-service-data-sinclair-timex-model-2068-computer/)
