This begs the questions. What was your business, and how were you using the 2068? Spreadsheet? Word Processor? I'm pretty impressed by this. I presume you must have had an 80-column printer hooked up to the TS 2068 in some fashion. How did that work?

What limitations are you referring to?

I still have a LOT (full CCATS library of books, Mags, Tapes etc) of
older materials for the '68 (and the 1000) and may to talked into
scanning for the group.

I don't even know what CCATS is. I used Google and came back with NO matches (when I searched with Timex 2068). There are quite a few books that were released for the TS 2068; at least a dozen-- maybe more. Hardly ANY have been scanned. Frankly, most are probably just how-to-use-BASIC books and don't need to be scanned. Some would be interesting though. WorldofSpectrum has some U.S. mags, but not many. As for software... there is a HUGE hole there. What kind of software are we talking about? I'd like to see more games. Also, I can't even find all of the cartridge ROMs. I've scanned TONS of material for the Astrocade (over at www.ballyalley.com). It's quite a task, but without the material that I've scanned there would be pretty-much NOTHING available for that console online. I'd be most interested in any machine language material, tape games and cartridge ROMs.
