1. Greetings to you all

Greetings to you all and thank you for allowing me to join your group! I
first owned a TS2068 in 1983 as a young'n. My dad would not buy me the
ever-popular console gaming systems and told me that the only video games I
was allowed to play were those I could program in BASIC on the TS2068.
Coincidentally, I became adept in BASIC programming.
I gave that system to a church in 1990, while I was enlisted in the Coast
Guard. I recently regained interest in the computer while surfing the web.
I bought my current one on e-bay, and I've made it my mission to maximize my
TS2068 over the next year or so. The hardest things to aquire will likely
be a FDD system (preferably 3.5 disks), an adapter for a modern printer, and
(if possible) a hard disk drive-- yes, I've my work cut out for me...
I look forward to knowing more about each of you. If you want to know more
about me, here is my rather pathetic website:

I think youll do best with either the John Oliger disk
system or the Larken system for the 2068....lots of
luck on the hard drive ....i dont think its been done
before...i have run across a hard disk controller for
the z-80, but there is a problem i have heard about
that prevents it from working...Oh...i know,...it had
something to do with hard drive formatting
software...lots of luck...
