| 42 Track Converter for the Amdisk III and LKDOS | A Big Thanks goes to Richard Hurd for the sharing of info on how he hooked up his disc drives with his LarKen disc IF, and for a formatting utility for the 3″ disc system. Sharing what we learn helps us all, and this is what the TS user community is all about. | Timex/Sinclair 2068, Type-in program |
| A Cursor Pad | A neat way of selecting from a menu or a collection of items on the screen is to move the cursor to the desired item. There is nothing new about this idea:- many games and commercial programs use this tequnique. | Timex/Sinclair 2068, Type-in program |
| Club Notes | Summer 1987 is history, and this Labor Day weekend I find some time to finish this issue. The July and August meets were lightly attended and short. Carl Morris brought his PC8300, the Chinese TS1000 clone to the August meet, and those present learned what it can do, and also found out what $30 these days will get you. | |
| Letter from Jack Dohany | FAIRWARE is my word for SHAREWARE, which is CONDITIONAL public-domain user-supported software that is NOT exactly free. FAIRWARE costs whatever the USER feels is a fair price for what he or she received. FAIRWARE may be freely copied and shared, unless it is COPYRIGHTED. | |
| New Newsletter | Announcing the start of a NEW newsletter-for 2068 users and Oliger Disc fans. Brave souls these folks, going on four years since that X@#$%& wrist clock company chickened out on us, and some have the nerve or gall to start up another newsletter. | |
| Stock Value | These two pages are filled by new members, Joan Kealy of El Paso, Texas and Hal Bellinson of Troy, New York. If everyone reading this now would mail in one or two short programs or ideas, this newsletter would quickly become a national bulletin board for 2068 users. | Timex/Sinclair 2068, Type-in program |
| The Amdek Amdisk III and the Larken LKDOS System | I just received a LarKen FDD System and ran into a few minor problems with connecting the AMDEK AMDISK III, a 2 drive disk system with power supply all tucked into a compact case. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
