Sweet. I always wanted a Timex-Sinclair 2068, but did not spend the cash. My first puter was a TS-1000 w/ 2K. http://www.algonet.se/~rsm/zx/clones/timex-sinclair.html It actually ran at 3.5 MHz clock and blanked the screen when running in "fast" mode where it did not do any screen updates. I did read a few posts on the Elks list with some people wanting to port the sub-Linux Elks kernel to a Z80. Wonder if anybody did anything with that. I know UZIX was discussed as a possible starting point (Z80 in an MSX box) http://uzix.sourceforge.net/uzix_links.html But it looks like it did not gain momentum. Anybody tried this: http://LNG.sourceforge.net/ (Unix for C64 and C128) Not that anybody would admit to owning such a creature!
