  • T/S 1000 cassette cable

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Tue Jul 22 02:02:17 2025
    Hello All,

    I have been looking all over for a Timex/Sinclair 1000 cassette interface cable or at least the schematic for one. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Have you tried Andertone Industries?

    Also:

    https://www.timexsinclair.com/computers/timex-sinclair-1000/hardware/

    And this mugg shows a bundle w/cassette interface cable - no idea if the
    cable is available separately.

    And https://www.timexsinclair.com/article/ts-1000-schematic-diagram/

    for (hopefully) complete schematics.

    Thanks for all the info! I do like the SD card interface but I usually have the 16K RAM pack plugged in. I now have somewhere to start.

    Always happy to h'ep - if I can. I only had one confuser that used a
    casette - My firsdt store-boought TRaSh-80 Model 1. There was a floppy
    made available for it - hiher pried than the cmputer itself. By that
    time I'd moved on the Commode Doore.

    I went to a CoCo 2 and was introduced to the C64 later. I am very
    familiar with the TRS-80 Model III as I learned to program in Pascal on
    one in high school in 1987. UCSD Pascal, if I remember correctly. I
    still write mainly in Pascal.

    Mostly I am a user. I used to bang in some of the programs from the back
    pages of Creative Computing and Byte, etc. And I messed about with REXX
    and AREXX (for the Amiga) but never did anything serious. More a hardware
    guy than a programmer.
