SyncWare News

Post by GCHarder »

Some issues of SyncWare News have recently been posted at Internet Archive.

For those not familiar with SyncWare News, it was probably the best, IMO, technically oriented magazine for the entire range of Sinclair computers.

Contributors included Fred Nachbaur, Wilf Rigter, myself and other greats from the day. In fact one of these issues contains the first explanation of the
WRX video driver authored by Wilf himself. Highly recommended. It's great to see these available at last, wish there was more!

Hey Greg (and everyone else),

That was me. I have a bunch of other stuff I've uploaded, including all 7 issues of Timex Sinclair User, T-S Horizons, Time Designs and more. Here's the link to my collections:

https://archive.org/details/@factus10

I think I have a few more SyncWare News to upload. I have a saved search on eBay and try to buy these as they become available. I got a full run of ZXir QLive Alive With the last batch of SyncWares I purchased. The issues I have include many additional pages (mostly advertising). I plan to scan and upload those to replace what's up there now. For instance, the v1 n1 of ZXir ends at page 11. Mine goes for more than that.

Best,
David

I saw that auction! Totally insane. I don't see anything that warrants that price.
