Back Issues & Tapes Back issues of the original QZX are available from K2MI. See info in the unclassified ads (Jan 83 issue). When he runs out, we will probably collect these issues in a book: but do not hold your breath waiting for us. Order from Marty before he runs out (and to help him run out). We
Battery-Backup and Entrycheck Here is a simple sketch on how you can provide battery backup for your computer. Cost of parts is small, the 2N5193 can be replaced by almost any 3 to 4 amp PNP transistor. Also included is a short routine illustrating the usefullness of the CODE function in devising a “goof-proof” data entry method. As Timex/Sinclair 1000
Editor's Doings Here’s mish-mash (is that spelled rite?) of what I have been doing in between the sessions spent on my TRS80 preparing this newsletter. 1… The M-64 64K memory board was completed without hitch. (see review) 2… My ZX81 was “modified” for direct video output. I thought it took more than just a wire, judging from
Miscellaneous Comments Correction: Jan issue, logkeeper program, by WA6DLI, change line 56 to read 56 Print “Enter S for search menu” to make it self explanatory when using.

QZX Net Info I know they are out there, but I am not copying them regularly in the Midwest. The propagation on twenty is taking its toll here. I hear it has been averaging twenty or so check-ins per session, with response as far away as Hawaii. It has good coverage not only in participation, but also in
SAS: Size, Accuracy, and Speed This is the third installment of a ‘column’ in which I had hoped to enlist some (LOTS) of participation. We have not received any feedback on either program to date!

Superduper Here’s a nice program to keep track of your contest contacts to avoid contacts with dopes, or is it dupes? It’s complete with comments and note the neat credit line at the end. Timex/Sinclair 1000
ZX81 RTTY Receive Program Here’s a neat RTTY program receives that RTTY for you. The author interfaced his ZX-81 directly to his home made TU. (I’m assuming TTL signals). He connected his TU to pin 20 of IC1 in the ZX81. It is for a 16K machine. This short RTTY receive program overcomes some of the like timing problems Timex/Sinclair 1000
