I was just wondering if anyone else has a small stash of "Timex Command Cartridges" for the TS 2068 computer? I have three, and I don't figure I'll ever find any others "in the wild".

Collectors?

BTW, they are small things, about the size of an original Gameboy cart, with a little sliding sleeve over the contacts and a handle built in. Cool looking.

Me! (raised hand). I've got a TS2068 and all of 1 cart for it and have been looking for some others. I've also got some books for programming the 2068 as well.

Did you have your 2068 all of this time, (ie; bought new in 82-3), or did you actually find one in the wild?

Well, I have a 2068 (2 of 'em, actually) plus 3 carts. I found this lot in the wild (errr, somone else found them in the wild but he died and his stash got donated to a church, where I bought it. Does that count as "in the wild"?). I'd never actually heard of the 2068 until I found these, and have never seen anything else for them.

Nope, but I bought my TS 1000 brand new in 1983 (for $14.99). It was my first computer and turned me into the geek that I am today.
