Dead index sensor. Cap C49 was sitting on a trace and slowly dumped its guts and ate it away. Patched up and this Epson SD-521 is back in business and the TS2068 and Larken now have their 2 drives back.

Playing around with the Larken disk interface is interesting. Not the easiest thing to use. But found the programs Omnibus and Hello! On some of the disks that make accessing the disk content much easier.

Neat! Hooked up a 1351 to PS/2 adapter and this TS2068 now has a mouse. Joystick + Mouse + Drives = pretty good little system. I can see why people who stayed with it were able to develop and use the system to its full potential.

Color on the TS2068 is fixed. R33 was loose. Reflowed all the solder points under the can and color is now stable.

TS2068 vs Spectrum game disk stacks. I guess the original owner had a double ROM mod. The manual shows the Larken cart could be moded to have the Speccy ROM onboard. I think I’m going to try this old school mod.

The TimexSinclair Enthusiasts Newsletter.

It's like getting a smaller version of a 80s magazine in your inbox.

~ 1983, I took USD 100 (birthday present from my grandmother) went to some discount place and bought a TimexSinclair 1000 (so maybe CAD 125-ish(?)). Had an RF think to connect to a TV, keypad were touch bubbles, another connector let you use a cassette recorder for I/O.

Well that’s Cool – BUT RUDE!!!!!

I would have to say overall the TS2068 is competitive for the time. But not surprisingly would have easily been crushed by a C64 or Atari Computer of the time. Unfortunately this one has color issues – so I have some fixing to do on it.
