A few years I helped Anestis coordinate a group order of K-Mouse Turbo
interfaces. This time it's something that might appeal to most Timex
TS2068 users: A twister board that allows the usage of most Spectrum
interfaces. The interface 1, for example, can be used if a Spectrum
emulator cartridge is present. The DivIDE can also be used. Here's a
pic of the boards that are ready now:

And here are pictures of the board in action:

Here's the schematic in case someone wants to create their own:

There were seven boards (brand new) available for sale but I'm down to
one now. I'm waiting for the author of these boards to let me know if
it would be possible to make more, based on the number of people who
are interested. If you're one of them please let me know so that I can
add you to the list. I'm preparing the list of all the interested
people and their contact information and then we'll see if we can get
more boards made to meet the demand. No promises though!

The cost is still to be determined, but it will be between 10 to 20USD
(20USD most likely) plus shipping costs.

Regards,

Correction: I'm now out of stock! Had no idea the demand would be so
high...

But you could still e-mail me your name if you want to be added to the
list.

The author has told me he's willing to make more boards. 2010 will be
a good year for TS2068 users.

As of now the projected run will be of 20 additional boards, of which
6 are already reserved. Please contact me if you wish to be added to
the list.
