| From the Chairmans Disk | These thoughts were developed out of attempts to download files from Bob Swoger by modem to me which often resulted in defaults. I believe that a lot of the difficulty is that I do not have the necessary information to do the task properly. | |
| From the Editors Desk | Though what Chairman Don has to say in his column about manuals has a great deal of validity, I just love it when he gives me a chance to editorialize and make us all think a little. So put on your thick hide, Don, because here it comes! | |

| Mineral Oil and the Edge Connector | Before Abed joined the CATUG, we ran an article on how the Motorola Sinclair Users group kept their ZX80 and ZX81 machines going with no crashes while others in the U.S. were experiencing crashes. We tried to tell the others through newsletters but couldn’t get into print. | |
| Mineral Oil and the Printer Ribbon | It seems that every time I am ready to use my printer, the printing looks faded; time for new ribbon; NOT SO. The printer is sitting idle and the ink is drying out especially in the winter months. | |
| News Items | Friday 08 28 1992 at 11:27 AM (Indiana time) I backed out of the driveway and left for the Dayton Computerfest. There is a different route I could have taken and missed all traffic in Ft. | |
| Resetting Track 0 and Other Tweaking | I wrote this originally a couple years ago and a recent conversation with Bob Swoger discussing resetting track 0 on a drive brought this to mind. While we both have successfully reset a Tandon TM 100-2A drive to track 0 again we both used different methods. | |
| The Byte-Back MD-68 Modem | The BYTE-BACK MD-68 Modem beat Anchor’s WESTRIDGE 2050 to the market place and therefore was the first modem used on my TS2068. It has some interesting features not found on the TS2050. The ability to receive BASIC programs from non-TS2068 computers in such a way as to allow the editing of these programs into working TS2068 tokenized programs is the most outstanding feature of this modem package. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Writing More Efficiently | I confess, I am a ZX81/TS1000 user still. A real survivor. Although I have promised myself to program only (or mainly) on the ZX81/TS1000 in machine language, BASIC still is my main language on this computer. The amazing thing is that there are still things to discover in BASIC programming for the ZX81/TS1000. | Timex/Sinclair 1000, Type-in program |
