my classic computers do WORK, darn it!). Well, okay, the KIM-1 doesn't. :-)
What you need is a 15-24 VDC supply which can put out one amp, center
negative.
The 2068 is a very nice machine, but was abandoned when Timex ceased
production. Very little software was produced for it, but with a Spectrum
emulator cartridge you will have access to over 10,000 programs which are
posted on the 'net. Disk drive interfaces are still available -- brand new
-- as well as centronics i/fs and even EPROM burners, if you want to take it
that far. I also have a speech synth and tape drives attached to mine.
If you can get the machine for under $100, and it works, and you don't mind
spending a little more time and $$ chasing down some extra hardware for it,
you can put together a pretty cool 8 bit system with one of these. I use
mine every day.
If you need some more help let me know off list
