[E-Z KEY](http://localhost/company/e-z-key/) has just announced that they now have available a keyboard interface module that allows a keyboard to be plugged into the rear expansion connector on your Zx 81/TS-1000/TS-1500 or the 2068. The module will allow you to add keyboard, joystick, or numeric keypad. It comes complete with a keyboard schematic. They have a KBI-1 for the TS-1000 and the KBI-2 for the 2068. Price is $39.95 + $2. 95 s&h. E-Z KEY, Suite 75A, 711 Southern Artery, Quincy, MA 02169

[TS Connection](http://localhost/tag/ts-connection/), 3832 Watterson Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45227; 513- 271-5575 Has the 2068 technical manual for immediate shipment for $25 + UPS charges.

Most major Wilson department stores in Florida still have the 2068 and 2040 printer + 4 software tapes for $149. Few, if any, still have the 2068 alone for $69. Stores we know for sure that have them are in Tallahasee, Jacksonville, Day- tona Beach, Orlando, and Tampa. Unfortunately, they won’t ship them out. You must walk in to get them.

### CORRECTION!

On page one of our last issue, we incorrectly reported that [English Micro Connection](http://localhost/company/english-micro-connection/) (EMC) is an agent for Sinclair. We should have stated that they are an agent for several computer distributors in England, and that some of them handle the Sinclair computers. We also mis- spelled [Bob Dyl’s](http://localhost/indiv/bob-dyl/) name; sorry about that, Bob.

Aerco has notified us that their new disc interface for the 2068 lists for $199, not $99, as stated in several publications.
