Hi guys,
First, thanks for letting me into the forum.
I've had a TC01 for a few years now and what a great machine it is! It has just been joined by its smaller brother, the 256, both of which can be seen in the attached pic.
Looking forward to chatting about all things Einstein in the months and years to come.

Welcome! They both look great setup! What is the machine to the left of them?

Hi, thank you.
That's a Timex Sinclair 1000 inside a 'Kradle'.
The Kradle was an american designed and manufactured keyboard that houses the TS1000 in its entirety, case and all. It gives it extended functions including extra banked ROM and 64K of RAM amongst other things.

Welcome and nice to see a Tatung Monitor sat on your TC01! And your 256?
All looks very well organised, not like my office / man-cave...

Hi and thank you!
Yes the monitor behind the 256 is the original Tatung Monitor too, fully working luckily so I can power my 256.
With that said, I have read that there exists an adaptor to do away with the need to be powered by the monitor and enabling the use of a TV.
Any idea of where I could obtain such an adaptor?
Cheers,

Ahh, never realised Ian did them! Excellent, I'll get one ordered. I'd like to use it on my PVM too, even though the Tatung monitor has a very good picture itself.
