Re: The hidden program on a blank tape...
Very cool video, even if a tiny bit tedious. And a neat little program for these humble machines. Thanks for posting this.

Re: Hello from France !
Yup--it's a sure sign we're getting old. I had to explain myself when I told my daughter about encyclopedias being on CD. She knew what a CD was, but what the heck is an "encyclopedia"?

Re: Filesixty Keyboard
I used two strips of double-sided adhesive foam, but I don't remember where I got the stuff. A caution however: the foam I used was perhaps a tiny bit too thick, requiring the maximum key travel the board can manage, and a very firm press to register properly. I've never revised it, but if I had to ...

Re: Sinclair SCL/ULA

Re: Filesixty Keyboard
How is this achieved? It is not. The ROM switcher was an experiment which has not worked out for other reasons. When I was preparing to burn the actual ROM chip, I simply gathered together 8 images, (unfamiliar with almost all of them), to try out. The key guide stuck on the corner is moot I'm afra...

Re: Filesixty Keyboard
I have this one in my collection: 04.jpg My opinion? It is a definite positive improvement over the flat membrane, but of course no where near as nice as a full keyboard. My unit is attached with 2-sided tape which I feel may be a tad on the thick side, requiring a too-hard keypress to make positive...

Re: Improving Timex/Sinclair Tape Loading

Ordinarily in order to get this tape to load I need a volume of around 7. Edit - turns out I can load this...
