"1068" — Enhanced TS1000

🔧 Project · 🧪 Experimental · Owner: Carl Miles · 2025

An enhanced / modernized take on the TS1000 (informally nicknamed the "1068"), developed largely through the Zoom user-group meetings rather than on the list.

Needs confirmation

Confirm which specific effort '1068' refers to (enhanced TS1000), its canonical name, owner(s), and repo. The linked threads are my best guess from the TS1000/ZX81 hardware cluster — prune/replace as needed. Meeting links to come once transcripts are ingested.

About

This effort is discussed mostly in the monthly Zoom meetings, so the mailing list has almost no record of it (a good illustration of why indexing the meeting transcripts matters — once that's in place, the updates will surface here automatically). The related TS1000/ZX81-class hardware work Carl has shared on the list — a TS1000→TS1500 conversion, a system-ROM replacement cartridge, the ZX81NU clone, and a TS1560 bus-expansion unit — is linked below as a starting point.

In the meetings
