Here's some more detail about the recently revived Timex Computer 3256 (a third-generation ZX Spectrum successor derived from the Timex Sinclair 2068 and the Timex Computer 2048)

If you don't have the time to watch the full presentation and you only want to see TENET working between some networked Spectra, you may head straight to the practical demo here:

Few of us, even the most studious ones, probably ever heard of the Timex Computer 3256, a ZX Spectrum-inspired successor to the Timex Sinclair 2068, or believed it was forever lost to time.
Some incredible engineers unearthed the Timex Computer 3256 AND its peripherals, and revived it in 2024. The Sinclair-inspired computer, its networking interface called TENET (short for: Timex Educational Network), floppy drive controller, networking software for the classroom, and all. Restored, revived, and re-created in new hardware. It's nothing short of a Jurassic Park achievement, infusing life and embodiment to something that only remained in some faint ROM memories.

(it's a long one, but I promise every minute is worth it for the dedicated ZX Spectrum engineer)
