Today I replace the original Tandy SmartWatch in my Tandy 1000 SX with a new SmartWatch+ from dJOS. I remove the old one, install the new one, and get the SMWCLOCK software (patched for Y2K) onto the 1000 SX. I also provide a couple of project updates for the TRS-80 Model I restoration and a new aquisition for that system. I mistakenly call the Q3 transistor in the Model I a "cap" at 2:10...not sure why. Sorry. Finally, we look at some bonus goodies that I got along with the 1000 SX back when I acquired it. Enjoy!
Music:
There's no music. Just twelve minutes of me droning on.
