Migrate Tech Wiki

Some info has been copied from the Tech Info Wiki, but there's still more to do.

I recently updated the tech info wiki after it was pointed out that it a page on there was in need of updating, but completely forgot about this Wiki. I suppose we should clear pages on the tech wiki pages after migration? It'd be helpful to provide a link from the tech wiki to here, but I'm not sure how that fits in with Wikia's policies. —Zub 01:23, 3 April 2014 (BST)

Software

We need articles on Sinclair related software, both for Sinclair machines and for running on other architectures. Guesser 20:19, 24 October 2010 (BST)

File formats

Implemented in spconv: SIT, SNX, ZX. Implemented in ASCD (SimCoupé fork): SCS (48K/128K/Coupé) Native formats: +D and DISCiPLE (with register dump in directory entry and corruption in GDOS but not G+DOS), Mirage Microdriver (include tape block info). Multiface formats. Spectrum emulation under SAM Coupé: +D/DISCiPLE snapshots as above, also SC_Speclone CODE file with +D-style footer and 64K Messenger snapshots, FUXoft '.FUX' format.

Wanted

Special:WantedPages shows current Red Links that need pages creating

Special:ShortPages shows pages sorted by length starting with the smallest. This helps you find pages with little or no info that need work. Guesser 21:39, 24 October 2010 (BST)

Copyedit

Incomprehensible walls of text get tagged with {{Copyedit}}; this causes them to appear in Category:Articles_in_need_of_copyediting. Have a knack for explaining things? Help out.
