No one? :-(

I'm also sad to say that I never heard back from the seller or the buyer who obtained the cartridges that we're missing.

In SuperMath, press STOP (Function + A) and it will kick you into Basic!

(at least on a real cartridge)

The attachments are all missing, so I cannot see what was previously discussed


Refresher, here is what the TS1510 was:Timex TS 1510 Command Cartridge Player

It was a cartridge pack for the licensed clone the Timex Sinclair TS1000, so it is 100% with the Sinclair ZX81

There are many photos at the Timex/Sinclair site, along with a link to the manual


But why was there so much excitement? There were only ever four cartridges released:
  • Chess (also available on cassette)

Sorry for the bump. I don't visit this site that much anymore, and this topic is more than a decade old. :)

Back then the excitement was because the TS1510 is rare, and I was happy when someone offered to build a clone of it. I was also very enthusiastic about preservation of hardware, software and literature, and had more free time and energy.

Here's the link to the .zip file that gets requested a couple times per year:

The folks at the TS2068 group have been talking about the TS1510 recently. Those interested in the interface and other TS subjects should definitely check it out: https://ts2068.groups.io/g/main
