1. Update: Official World of Spectrum Timex Archive
cheveron · Tue, 21 Apr 2009 22:53
For those of you who are interested in this sort of thing...
I've completed the preliminary stage of setting up the Timex archive on WoS -- creating an outline HTML page for each title. The archive includes 71 unique titles so it's going to take me a while to fill in all the details and upload it all. I will try and get the downloads working as soon as possible and then fill in the rest of the information, screenshots, covers etc. as time allows. Along with some recent finds the archive includes Timex cartridge versions of many of the Spectrum IF2 carts, and the all-in-one 64K Shadow of the Unicorn cart. I have taken the decision to exclude non-commercial releases that also run on the standard Spectrum (things like type-ins and PD compilations) as these can go straight into the main WoS archive. I haven't included the TC2048 stuff yet as I want to concentrate on the TS2068 titles to begin with. Most of the files are in .TAP format, except where a 'perfect' TZX set (side one and two of an original release) are available. The carts are in .DCK format, but can be used with real hardware by removing the header and burning to the appropriate section of an EPROM, or the forthcoming FLASH-cartridge. I hope to have the downloads working by next weekend. At that point I'll update the missing-in-action list and perhaps we can start filling in the gaps.
Cheers!
-Andrew

Where can I find info about this Flash cartridge?

I think it is being produced by RWAP (http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/) but I don't know how far along he is with development of it. Bruno may know more.
