First of all, some user correspondence: Bob Welburn of Lake Worth, FL writes, “I purchased an emulator from Jack Keene, Dallas, TX, and found it to be terrific! Simply insert in the T/S 2068 cartridge port. It has it’s own on/off switch with LED indicator light. Good buy for $35.” Syd Wyncoop of Portland, OR |

| A Monitor Adapter for the T/S 1500 |
For several years, publications have carried articles on connecting T/S 1000 and ZX81 computers to monitors, to improve the quality of screen image that some TVs lack. There have been mainly 2 approaches, (1) install a complex converter to give a reverse screen image of white on black, (2) install a simple transistor adapter to |

In my article “Automatically Set RAMTOP Without Destroying The Program” published in the July-August issue, the GOSUB stack was very briefly discussed. This article will delve more deeply into this subject. I will also cover how to determine the extent of the “Safe Area” in the TS 1000 and 1500. The safe area determines the |

I obtained this program because it sounded like a good “warm-up” for a certain interest (or “habit” as some may like to call it) that I have in the Fall. You may have guessed by now, that it is Pro Football, but I will not bore you with details about my favorite team (except that |

MAXWELL DEAL FALLS THROUGH In a surprising turn of events, the Robert Maxwell plan to buy-out Sinclair Research has back-fired. The earlier offer that was made this last summer (that had been accepted) was withdrawn. Therefore, the situation at Sinclair as far as ownership, remains unchanged. Sir Clive is still the Chairman, and still owns |

This issue I want to take a minute, and examine…just who are the people that use Timex/Sinclair computers? For my research, I conducted a very informal survey from the subscription and correspondence files of Time Designs Magazine. The results of this brief but non-scientific study may not suprise you at all. There is just about |

Thanks for the TASWORD TWO tips (in the May/June 1985 issue). I have tried to use these in my Tasword Two PROBLEM. When I try to print double-spacing, ect; the program locks up! I do not have information for the 2040 printer per line feed, baud rate, ect. Would you care to have another article |

I have thoroughly enjoyed my ZX-81 for years. I have added a full-size keyboard, 64k of memory and the Timex/ Sinclair 2040 Printer. I’ve always lamented the lack of high-resolution graphics, but have never felt compelled to invest the extra money for the needed hardware or s/w. The following program will allow you to use |

| Zebra Graphics Tablet for 2068 |
Have you been looking for a way to do screen displays easier than figuring the PLOT and DRAW positions? This may be the way to accomplish the task. The ZEBRA GRAPHICS TABLET is the same one that you may have seen for other computers (also known as the KoalaPad). The system for the Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

| ZIP Basic Compiler |
The resident language in the T/S 2068 is Sinclair BASIC (an altered version of Microsoft BASIC). BASIC is a relatively easy language to learn and thus an easy means of communicating with the microprocessor. The microprocessor can perform approximately 1/2 a million operations per second. Then, why is BASIC so slow? The processor only uses |
