The Timex Sinclair 2050 (TS2050) was a computer modem built by Westridge for Timex Computer Corp. A very little quantity was sold with Timex Sinclair label, most with the designed Timex case was sold with the label Westridge 2050 because Timex exited the computer market when the modem started to be manufactured. A lot of people bought the modem board and made custom casing. Because it was very slow (300bit/s), a magazine published a way to modify the modem to convert it to a serial port, allowing users to connect faster modems. A cassette was released with the modem with software for TS1000/TS1500 on side A and for TS2068 on side B, to control it.
Famous quotes containing the word sinclair:
“Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street.... He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper. The difference between a thinker and a newspaperman is that a thinker enters right into things, a newspaperman is superficial.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
