1. Permissions obtained to share Timex material online

Bob Swoger, former owner of Gator Software development, the author of the LogiCall O.S. and also the editor of the T/SNUG newsletter has given me permission to share and post online all his Sinclair-related material, be it hardware schematics, eprom images, manuals, documentation, books and anything else that falls into these categories. Larry Kenny of Larken fame placed in his hands (years ago) everything that was Sinclair-related when he was about to start Larken automation. Larry left him responsible for everything and he sees no problem with the preservation project. These are great news. I will continue to talk to more people.
P.S. I also obtained permission from Rod H. to share all the newsletters from the former Timex Sinclair group from Vancouver, Canada. :)
If you're a former Timex Sinclair vendor or created your own material in the past and thought no-one else would value your work, please consider giving your permission to have your work preserved permanently. I'll do all the scanning and conversion to PDF.
Thanks.

Well, he's also another person I would like to contact, but I'm not sure if he has the time or the desire to answer a few questions.
Meanwhile, I've been told the Larken system provided much more possibilities and expansion than the JLO one. I also heard someone saying the JLO system was fine hardware-wise, but despite the many different versions it would crash and have you lose all your work. Not sure how many people experienced this or if in the final version didn't suffer from this problem. Still, I have a couple manuals that I would like to share with all of you and I hope I'll be able to obtain permission to do so.

5. JLO vs LarKen

The LarKen unit hogs the cartridge dock. The JLO i/f does not.

I have used JLO interfaces extensively and have *never* experienced
this. IMHO my TS2068 used in conjunction with the JLO drive interface
is *the* most reliable computer I own, and I own a *lot* of
computers :-)
