So are regulated the same as switching? If not are the methods of controlling voltage the same?

Re: Timex Sinclair 2068 faults

I noticed the original is better resolution. I shouldn't have placed inline. Maybe this one is better. Remove ".txt"

Re: Timex Sinclair 2068 faults

That is the issue. I used the PSU that was in the original box without checking that it was the right one. Now no telling since it probably was the wrong one, unless I misplaced it. So far nothing that I have is 15V and still looking.

Re: Timex Sinclair 2068 measurements (length x width)?

It will be a great knock-off. I wanted to make a similar case for a ZX81 and an enlarged membrane keyboard. It was around $1000 for minimum quantity of membranes from the suppliers I found.

Re: ZX Basic vs Commodore V2.00 (Vic 20)

Of course! Do what works for you... I, for what it counts, like this method.

I have seen this in U.S. (SOME) coding if I am not mistaken. Also with Linux bash scripts.

If your working on a team though, they might squeal!!
