@haitchfive<p>Here's some more detail about the recently revived Timex Computer 3256 (a third-generation ZX Spectrum successor derived from the Timex Sinclair 2068 and the Timex Computer 2048)<br><a href="https://loadzx.com/timexcomputerworld/tc3256/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">loadzx.com/timexcomputerworld/</span><span class="invisible">tc3256/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZXSpectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Speccy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Speccy</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Spectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TS2068" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TS2068</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TC2048" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TC2048</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Timex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Timex</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TimexComputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TimexComputer</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TC3256" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TC3256</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TimexComputer3256" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TimexComputer3256</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TimexSinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TimexSinclair</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>
@haitchfive<p>If you don't have the time to watch the full presentation and you only want to see TENET working between some networked Spectra, you may head straight to the practical demo here:<br><a href="https://youtu.be/Mkn9syUI_N8?feature=shared&amp;t=2775" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/Mkn9syUI_N8?feature=s</span><span class="invisible">hared&amp;t=2775</span></a></p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TimexSinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TimexSinclair</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Timex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Timex</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TC3256" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TC3256</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TENET" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TENET</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZXSpectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Spectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Speccy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Speccy</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TS2068" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TS2068</span></a></p>
@haitchfive<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>See their presentation here:<br>"TENET: A deep dive into the lost ZX Spectrum Network" <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mkn9syUI_N8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=Mkn9syUI_N</span><span class="invisible">8</span></a><br>(it's a long one, but I promise every minute is worth it for the dedicated ZX Spectrum engineer)</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Timex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Timex</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TimexSinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TimexSinclair</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZXSpectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Speccy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Speccy</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Spectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TC3256" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TC3256</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TS2068" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TS2068</span></a></p>
@haitchfive<p>The Timex Computer 3256 was the right idea, with the wrong business people, a couple of years too late. </p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TimexSinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TimexSinclair</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZXSpectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Spectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Speccy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Speccy</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Timex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Timex</span></a></p>

@haitchfive<p>Eventually the <del>three</del> <del>four</del> five Sinclair speckies I now own will hopefully join my other small collection of speckies made in the Americas, across the sea.
