| Disk Life | So, you’ve just spent big bucks for a super piece of software, made your back-up and are working away with your working copy. Suddenly while you are working with a relatively unimportant utility program on another disk, your disk goes bad. That’s not a major problem. | |
| Disk Life! | To answer your question about how long tapes will last. Data tapes, when kept in a temperature and humidity controlled environmemt will retain their ability to hold data virturally forever. However, as you pointed out, the condition of “bleed through” or “print throught” will gradually erase the data that is on the tape. | |
| From the Chairmans Desk | Here I am starting Vol. 3 #2 and I have seen only the advance copies of Vol. 2 #4 and Vol. 3 # 1. But that is the way with publication. You have to work far in advance to keep up. I have found yet another DOS (Disk Operating System) for the T/S 2068. | |

| RecordKeeping | While there are a few ‘DataBase’ softwares available for the 2068 such as PROFILE, I like to roll my own program. I needed some kind of simple record to keep track of the membership list. Of course this program can be used for any other data keeping function. | Timex/Sinclair 2068, Type-in program |
| SPDOS or yet another T/S 2068 disk DOS | Way back when there was a disk interface for the T/S 2068 called Ramex Millenia K. See UPDATE for January 1988 page 8. SPDOS was originally marketed by WATFORD ELECTRONICS as a disk interface and operating ysytem. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
