In this week’s meeting of our group, we were joined by Joe Vandezande, a Timex enthusiast. Joe told us about his maxed-out Timex/Sinclair 1000 that he attempted to mount in a Hazeltine computer terminal.
Andy Hradesky, a long-term TS enthusiast, joined us and regaled us with tales of his experiences. Andy owned a number of Timex and Sinclair computers and was, at one time, editor of Timelinez, the newsletter for several user groups in California.

Evie Salomon, maker of the BackBit cartridge, joined us to show her progress in making the BackBit work with the Timex/Sinclair 2068.
Evie’s work and progress led to a spirited discussion about implementation and features.
Tim Horner showed us his project to print to the ZX Printer/TS 2040 from an Arduino and using a filament 3D printer to make new belts for the ZX Printer.
Jeff Kuhlmann joined us and told us about his experiences trying to make a bootable EPROM image for a TS 2068 cartridge.
And, at the end, after a fascinating and far reaching conversation, David showed a short video art program that exploits a bug in the DRAW command in TS 2068 BASIC.
