According to an early Timex Sinclair 2000 computer flyer, it would have 16 KB of RAM, add a Kempston-compatible joystick interface and a two color high resolution mode for 80 column text.

In an interview with Lou Galie, Senior Vice President of Technology at Timex, he tells what he claims to be the real story.

Main hardware changes: A variant of the T/S 2068 was sold in Poland after 1986 under the name Unipolbrit Komputer 2086 (or UK 2086).

[3][9] The machine was based on the TC 2068, with further changes introduced by that company: The T/S 2068 was a more sophisticated device, compared to its UK ancestor, the ZX Spectrum.

Arguably one of the first Sinclair clones to significantly improve on the original design, it added a number of new features: However, these changes made the machine incompatible with most Spectrum machine-code software, which is to say virtually all commercial titles; less than 10% would run successfully.

Based on the original software catalog, 4 cartridges and 22 of the planned tapes were never released.. Timex of Portugal released cartridges (including the "ZX Spectrum Emulator" and "TimeWord", that came with the TC 2068), tapes and software on disks (ex: Tasword for Timex FDD).

Popular Mechanics in February 1984 called the Timex Sinclair 2068's keyboard a "mixed blessing" and reported a flaw in the video signal, but liked its BASIC and concluded that "for $200, the 2068 is a nice package".
