To the group:
I picked up the boards and pieces to build 3 more Oliger Disc drive
sets. What I am having a tough time finding is good 720k 3 1/2 inch
drives. They seem to have dried up and gone away. I also picked up
six cartridge boards from Oliger.
I intend on developing them into combo Spectrum emulators/Os64
boards, possibly to include 32k of ram in the upper 32k of the
cartridge bank.
One problem I am having is burning eproms. The 21 volt 64k and 128k
eproms are hard to fing and my Oliger eprom burner does not work
with 12.5 volt eproms. I can buy a standard IBM parallel port
burner, but have no software to burn z80 code. Any suggestions
(Jarek?).
Did find something unusual in my stach. I had not one, but two 64k
ram Timex disc drive controllers. They apparently came to Timex
Computer Lab in Waterbury, Conn. for evaluation from the Scotland
factory.

Hello!

"BEU Timex"

I hope my page will be shown soon.
