1. "Howdy" to the new folks.

Seems we've had a few new folks join in the past week or so. Welcome! Pull up a chair and
share your thoughts on the 2068. :)

Hello. I joined in this past week.
My thoughts are:
1. Good heavens, is there a BASIC available that allows typing of
keywords instead of spending more time looking for the CHR$ keyword
than it would have taken just to type the letters and the $ symbol?
2. Is there an emulator for the TS2068 which has the bank switching
and the AY chip in the right place for the TS2068 and not the Sinclair
Spectrum?

Good heavens! The tokenized basic is an INTRINSIC part
of the whole Sinclair Experience, from the days of the
original ZX80 on up. One wonders why on earth you
bought a 2068 if you don't love the K, L, and other
unique cursors.
The answer to your question is no, there is no such
BASIC. Microsoft never did like the Sinclairs.
Not sure what you mean about the emulator. It would
emulate what exactly? Most people *want* their 2068 to
be able to emulate a Spectrum so they can take
advantage of the additional software titles written
for that cousin.

Contains two utilities for typing out keywords:
KEYWORD.TAP Allows typing commands letter by letter
rather than using keywords. This is version for
TS2068.
KWORDV50.TAP Yet another program which allows the user
to spell out the tokenized keywords. Works on both
Timex or ordinary Spectrum.

Thanks, I'll go grab them. Also looking for utils to take WAV files
and make TAP (or whatever the tape file format is), and vice-versa!

taper/maketzx/playtzx from World of Spectrum will do that.
