  1. I also have this American ZX Spectrum #TS2068 that does #NTSC :)

  2. I found the materials referenced earlier, a 1988 NASA paper explaining the theory and Sinclair BASIC code implementation to perform certain satellite orbit calculations.

    Here's the paper as PDF
    ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/198900
    NASA Technical Paper 2811
    An Economical Semi Analytical Orbit Theory for Micro-Computer Applications

    The header of the code reads:

     1 REM SAVE"BgORBIT"
    2 REM An Economical Semi-Analytical Orbit Theory
    for Micro-Computer Applications 1986-TimeX/Sinclair 2068
    R.A. Gordon, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, GreenBelt, MD.
    AIAA 24th Aerospace Sciences Meeting Jan.6-9,1986
    [AIAA-86-0085]

    See a scan with some of the intricate Sinclair BASIC code in the images below.

    An Economical Semi Analytical Orbit Theory for Micro-Computer Applications

    UPDATE: PDF at the NASA documentation site found here:
    oldbytes.space/@haitchfive/115

    Folks at the Timex Sinclair Online Group are doing some restoration work trying to help re-create 1980s NASA satellite orbit calculation code written for Timex Sinclair computers, up until now only existing in vanishing printed form.

  25. Few of us, even the most studious ones, probably ever heard of the Timex Computer 3256, a ZX Spectrum-inspired successor to the Timex Sinclair 2068, or believed it was forever lost to time.

    Some incredible engineers unearthed the Timex Computer 3256 AND its peripherals, and revived it in 2024. The Sinclair-inspired computer, its networking interface called TENET (short for: Timex Educational Network), floppy drive controller, networking software for the classroom, and all. Restored, revived, and re-created in new hardware. It's nothing short of a Jurassic Park achievement, infusing life and embodiment to something that only remained in some faint ROM memories.

    See their presentation here:
    "TENET: A deep dive into the lost ZX Spectrum Network"
    youtube.com/watch?v=Mkn9syUI_N
    (it's a long one, but I promise every minute is worth it for the dedicated ZX Spectrum engineer)

  30. Belleza americana

    La Timex Sinclair 2068 (TS2068), lanzada en noviembre de 1983, fue la cuarta y última home computer producida por Timex Sinclair para el mercado de los Estados Unidos, basada en la ZX Spectrum. Rediseñada con el fin de hacerla más competitiva en el exigente mercado de Estados Unidos, la TS2068 era muy superior a la ZX Spectrum.
