sales of $7,000 micros under the £1000 mark. The Spec- trum Ptus accounts for the lion’s

285 ZX8is.

Spearman however points out that the figures apply mainly to August, when the home computer industry was still in its summer trough, and should therefore be treated with caution. The figures are also weighted towards the multiples, as AGB concedes that its presence in the independent computer stores is not as great as it should be.

Sinclair's marketing manager Alison Maguire says that the figures indicate that people are buying

Sinclair’s “total comn itment to our current UK product line-up”. So no 128s this Christmas, and perhaps an indication that Sinclair’s own prediction of a total market of 1,000,000 units this year, against 1,400,000 last, could be a little on the conservative side.

Home micro sales are now almost wholly accounted for by Sinclair, Commodore, Acorn and Amstrad. Adrian Spearman won't elaborate on individual companies’ market share, but says that only three or four companies hold shares of 5 percent or more.

having to retype the whole list selecting just the name and address and leaving out the telephone nuabers and notes,

I devised a siaple way of eanipulating the printer format without rewriting any of the progras listing.

The basic principle of the solution is this:

WHEN SETTING THE DATA FIELDS IN THE PRINTER FORMAT, PLACE ALL UNWANTED DATA FIELDS ON ONE PRINT LINE AND THEN COVER WITH A LINE OF SPACES,

The step by step process.

1, When entering each file, #ill the last data field with spaces all the way across the page.

2, Press C to get a screen copy. With a pen, note in order on the copy the nuaber of each data field.

Cad

» Press @ to quit and from the asenue, select "set printer foraat’.

4. Design your printer format, (or leave blank if you don’t want any fixed writing printed on every file.) Stop to exit. This will bring you to “Set Data Fields" See Note $,

5. Decide which fields you want to print and where you want thee printed. Move cursor to the desired position and set each field by pressing enter. (Nake sure there is enough room on the line for the data field to fit.) Keep in mind the number of each data field in the order you set thea.

ANY FIELD YOU DON’T WANT PRINTED, move with the cursor and set on a line that is to remain blank. (They can be set on top of each other.) Set the final data field (the one that will contain a whole row of eaply spaces on each file page) on the sase line that is to remain blank. This will, in effect, cover over any printing on this line.

Note & (From step 4 )

If you want to control how many lines of text and eapty lines are alocated for the printing of each file, put a period "." on the final line. The printer will then print the text and the eapty lines up to the period and then go on to the next file. (J use the period to justify the start of each of ay stick on labels--See example.)

Conclusion: It’s really great to have these labels neatly printed out all sorted and ready to stick on and ail.

It works fine on the 2040 printer. For stick on labels I use ay Star S6-10 printer with Near Letter Quality Type style. )

With home address and phone lists or club meabership lists this works fine if you want to print a list of names and phones or a list of names and addresses froa the same data file.

Microdrive Adapter Board

Available From - The English Micro Connection 1S Kilburn Court Newport, R.I. 02840 (401) 849-3805

Price ~ $ 35.00 (PPD)

It is well known amongst the owners of the TS 2068, that the capability of using hardware peripherals designed for the U. K. Spectrum in most cases will not work. This is due to the fact that the signals on the rear edge connector are configured differently between the 2068 and Spectrum. Hence, thoughts of running ZX microdrives on the 2068 were rudely rejected.

However, through the efforts of many dedicated TS 2068

hardware "geniuses" a host of so-called "twistor” boards have appeared. These clever devices re-configure the 2068 signals to resemble the Spectrum output. In the earlier versions,

incompatiblity with some versions of Spectrum emulators existed when trying to run microdrives (most notably Spectrum ROM and Romswitch types). This minor problem was to be solved quickly. Now, most twistor boards available can accomodate any type of emulator.

In opting to buy ZX Microdrives instead of a disk drive system, I decided to purchase the Qliger microdrive adapter board (EMU-4) to interface the system with my 2068. The adapter board fits between the 2068 and Sinclair Interface 1 (this component is required to hook microdrives up). A nice feature of the design is the slight angling of the actual FC board once the female edge connector is plugged into the back of the computer. Why is this advantageous you might ask ? The reason is, the Sinclair Interface 1 was designed to slip underneath of the Spectrum and thus its female edge connector is slightly elevated to accomodate for this. As the microdrive adaptor board sits, it is angled perfectly for easy attachment into the Interface 1.

The only drawback I personally see is the "bare" board itself. Other than a piece of protection tape covering the tracings, all other electronic components are exposed. So one must be careful not to spill or drop anything on it. Aside from that minor quirk, the board does exactly what its designed to do. I now have the Sinclair microdrives (which I will review in a later article) up and running like a charm. Furthermore, the expansion port of Interface 1 (located on back) 15 fully capable of being used to add on other Spectrum peripherals. Timex designed peripherals which I have also been successful in using are the Aerco Centronics Interface, and TS 2040 printer. Caution, the oniy device which I have currently been unmable to use with the Interface 1 is the Westridge 2050 modem. Hopefully, one of the "geniuses" will figure this one too!

Well, thats it for now. Back to playing with my microdrive system (who needs disk drives anyway) !
