Page 3 www.thespectrumshow.co.uk NEWS - April 1987 Z88 PROBLEMS The Ministry of Defence is said to be contacting many companies with a view to copyright infringement of its patented LCD screen technology. The patent is for LCD screens to produce a clear image close to that of a con- ventional CRT, and rumours are that several companies, including Sinclair are using it without permission. Although the patent is in place in the UK, USA and Canada, it has yet to reach Japan, where most of the components are manufactured. How this move will affect Sinclair’s new Z88 computer has yet to be defined, maybe a price increase, maybe even withdrawal, but Clive Sinclair says he has not yet been contacted by the MOD, so cannot comment on the situation. Sinclair have stated that the Z88 will be delayed, and will not now be in full production for another six to eight weeks. If this due to the screen concern, we’ll never know. The company are also coming under fire for advertising the product and taking orders without actually stating when the delivery date will be.

When you approach the top of a ladder, you just drop down – there seems to be a lack of collision detection here, and this catches you out time and time again.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128 Introductory Manual HTML version created by Damien Burke and copied with permission This manual remains Copyright © 1986 Amstrad Thanks to Cliff Lawson of Amstrad for distribution permission. Before you continue to the manual itself, a few words about the HTML version: l I've tried to duplicate the original's appearance as closely as possible, while keeping images to a minimum (or to as small a size as possible). This means I've kept the original page structure of the paper manual, with one change: if a sentence was split over two pages, it is now kept within the boundaries of the original page. Also in place of three plain text tables that were meant to illustrate on-screen menus, I've made screen grabs of the appropriate areas of the screen and used those instead. l Tables are used quite heavily. If your browser is not tables-capable, either get a decent one, or read the ASCII text version of the manual. Tables are used not only to recreate the tables found in the original paper manual, but also to move the text to the right (i.e. create a left margin without using Internet Explorer's LEFTMARGIN tag). This is so the text can clear the coloured bar on the left of each page (providing your browser is loading background images). Many browsers will not display a table until the entire portion of the page containing the table has been downloaded.

Thanks also to Matthew Westcott for helping me to understand TR-DOS a little better. ZXF magazine delights in reporting on the achievements of the members of the Spectrum community and is indebited to them all for their efforts. In particular, ZXF could not have achieved its current distribution without the hosting offered by Martijn van der Heide at www.worldofspectrum.org, whose own contribution to the Spectrum scene goes well beyond the easily measurable.

You think that new technology is great - of course you do - but ever since you packed away that old Spectrum in a box and taped up the lid something has most definitely been missing. At last you understand you were turning your back on more than just an obsolete computer. The good news is that you don't have to fish the box out from under the bed just yet (or lament its sale on ebay or at the local car boot): the Spectrum is one of the most emulated computers (if not the most emulated computer) on the planet and the quality of its emulation is just superb.

  • HOME COMPUTERS in ARCHAEOLOGY M J Rains University O-F Durham, Dept. O-F Archaeology 46 Saddler St., Durham City, Dhl 3NU ABSTRA
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Publikationsserver der Universität Tübingen HOME COMPUTERS IN ARCHAEOLOGY M J Rains University o-f Durham, Dept. o-f Archaeology 46 Saddler St., Durham City, DHl 3NU ABSTRACT Most recent work on the use of microcomputers in archaeology has been orientated towards hardware in the '2000+ price range and has largely overlooked the potential o-f cheaper 'home' micros casting a tenth of this price or less which have o-ften been dismissed as unsuitable for archaeological work largely because of their lack of disc storage facilities. Use of a Sinclair Spectrum based system on recent excavations in Orkney has shown that this problem can be overcome by the use of data compaction techniques to allow over 500 content records or 1000 small find records to be held within the 4BK RAM of the computer. Future hardware enhancements offer further scope for expansion. The programs implemented to date are for the storage, handling and retrieval of site data and the analysis of stratigraphie information to facilitate matrix construction. Their development and use has demonstrated how a Sinclair Spectrum (or similar) can form the heart of a low cost/low risk computer system with wide capabilities eminently suited to use on small and medium sized archaeological projects. Over recent years,' one of the fastest growing sectors of the computer industry has been the so—called "home computer". This sector of the market really only came into ewistance with the introduction of the Sinclair Research ZX80 machine in 1980.

Connect it to your Spectrum and you can control up to eight Microdrives, communicate with other computers and drive a wide range of printers. THE 2X MICRODRIVE.. gives you fast Access to a large memory. Each Microdrive can hold up to 100K bytes using a single interchangeable cartridge. THIS MANUAL . introduces the idea of using BASIC as an operating system as well as a programming language. This way, BASIC can be used to set up communication links, to send and receive data along them and to manipulate files. This adds enormously to its power to perform tasks in which: - data is stored and retrieved, - data and programs are sent to peripherals, - communication links are established with other Spectrum computers or with other types of computer. The combined use of BASIC as an operating system and a programming language gives it a power and flexibility, and also an ease of use, to be found in few larger computers. You should read the chapters on the Microdrive even if you have not bought one, since they introduce various concepts (about channels and .Weams and their use) which you will need to understand.
