T4S Users Meet Or Compuserwve
by Norm Lehfeldt (Compuserve ID # 724é. % 272)
Now that you’ve finally got your hands on a modem, what can you do with it?
If you have succumbed to the temptation to subscribe to Compuserve, you can share concerns and knowledge with other Timex/Sinclair users in our own special interest group. Yes, it's true, even though you won't find it in the POMpuser ys Index, there is a T/S group! Here’s how to find ite
Once you have logged oan to Compuserve, enter "GO CEM 450", This takes you into the Computers and Electronics Magazine Special Interest Group (CEM SIG), wherein resides a little band of T/S afficionadoes carrying on as if Timex were still in business.
The first time you enter CEM SIG, you will be encouraged to leg on as a member. Go ahead and do so. Just follow the prompts (Remember to give your name not a CE Handle— ~You’re among friends here). Once you are logged on as a member you have access to all the CEM SIG features,
Each time you log on thereafter you will probably want to read the bulletins and new messages first thing. You choose these options from the Function Menu. Once you have caught up on those, you may want to check in on the on-line conference (Number & on the Function Menu). |
There you will often find folks just shooting the breeze on

computer tooLca. A special feature is the Timex/Sinclair conference (Wednesdays, 7:00P.M. PDT) hosted by System Oper ator (SYSOP) Patrick. It’s a chance to catch up on the latest T/S gossip, get technical help, learn where to buy hard to get hard/software or just
meet some friendly fellow computer enthusiasts.
Another feature of CEM SIG you will want to check out is the Data Base or XA. Entering XA (instead of a menu item number) at the function menu prompt will give you a list of the data base sections and their subjects. Section 4 is the Timex /Sinclair section. It contains programs you can download from Compuserve into your very own computer-~provided you are using Byte—-Back Co.’s ZCOMM modem software. You can also upload programs to XA 4 which can then be downloaded by other subscribers.
It takes a bit of experience and sone perusal of Compuserve’s users guides to be able to access all of the features of the Special Interest Groups on the system. But far those of us faced with diminishing commercial support for our computers, the Timex/Sinclair section on CEM SIG makes it worthwhile.
TIMELINE? {c} is the joint Publication of three Timexs Sinclair User Groups in the pan Franciscoe + Gaktand - San Jose Bay Areas. Otd and new members are atwayus wetcome —- 50 afe experienced hardware and software hackers as wett

Undocumented Z-B0 Instructions by Frank Moura
AS we probably know by now there are two registers in the Z-80 called the IX and IY registers. All of the official instructions (published by Zilog) for these registers are all 16 bit operations. This programmer has found there use awkward, and not useful. They are probably good for absolute indexing of tables and lists that always have absolute offsets to the elements in question.
A typical instruction like LD A,(IX + dis) is an example of the problem. "dis" is a displacement byte. This displacement is added to the address in IX. The byte at this location is then loaded into the A register. Well, "dis" must evaluate to a numerical constant. This can be in the form of an EQU which is a label, (ex. FOO EQU 80h) that when used as an operand in an instruction evaluates to a number. So, LD A,(IX + FOO) is then a legal statement. This, however, is as far as the flexibility of these registers went.
Back to the matter at hand. One may notice with a quick look at the 7Z-80 instruction set that all of the instructions start with DDh for IX, and FD for the IY. Now here’s the good news, these registers have also 8-bit operations. Any operation that uses the registers H or L may be preceded by DDh or FDh and they will operate on on the HighX or LowX and Y registers. This gives you 4 more 8 bit registers to use.
A suggested syntax for these registers is XH,XL and YH,YL. A way to generate these is to precede the normal H and L instructions with DD or FD respectively. The DEFB (DB) assembler directive is quite useful for this purpose.
Here are a few of the instructions that can be used in this manner. Remember that all of the next instructions can be used on both the IX and IY registers by placing the appropriate byte in front of the instruction ;:
LD Hyr LD Lyr $: CP RH CPO LD rH LD r,L ¢ DEC H DEC I. LD HyL LD L,H ! INC H INC OL ADC A,H Apc A,L | OR H OR L. ADD A,H ADD A,L !: SBC A,H SBC A,L AND H AND L ! SUB H SUB L
All of the BIT manipulation instructions (SET,RES,BIT) da not work with these registers nor da any of the IN or OUT instructions, but these new instructions make the normally dull and unexciting IX and IY register into a different animal altogether. Enjoy
