Newbear 77-68

[Phil_G]

Late to the party again, I notice that http://www.cmas-net.org.uk/ is no longer online, did someone host an archive of all the 7768 stuff so far please?
I only have the common ACC newsletters and a 'Mighty Micromite' 7768 article from PCW, and IIRC an interview with Tim.

@chris-uk it looks like your site has been down for a while. Have you moved it?

@Phil_G archive.org has a mirror of the site, here:

That is a nice looking set of early boards your father built, fascinated by these systems, which came out as I started working 77/78. Interested by the Newbury connection, I must have driven past the Bartholomew Road office in Newbury for 13 years and and never worked out
who Newbury Labs were. Worked for a computer company which might have been based a couple of buildings north of that office in 1979, but never found any connection.

Thank you, it's a small world! I'm not sure how long he was in Newbury but he worked also for Plessey in Taplow and then started his business in Maidenhead in the 1980's, Kuma Computers, which later moved to Pangbourne.

I would love a copy of the interview with Tim (my late father) if you could send it? Thank you

 

[MaddyC]

These may be of interest

Here are some 77-68 / Tim Moore related items from PCW which I have accumulated... Hope they are of some interest.

Many thanks indeed

I haven't found the interview Maddy, I'll keep looking, I have so many piles of old electronics mags here...

 

[Phil_G]

Maddy I found this, its not the interview that I've been looking for but it does show that your Dad had a healthy sense of humour...

I just finished disassembling and commenting minimon, and I think I even found a bug in the B (block move) command. (FDAD should probably be F9, not FB)

EDIT: Ah, I see there was a handwritten copy of the code, but with slight differences, and yes that probably is a bug not to use ADCB.

I have been `reorganising` some Newbear stuff, and plan to replace my old web folder with it at some stage, but in the meantime I've posted it up to Google drive.
I've added quite a bit of `new` stuff.

The windows inbuilt 'Wordpad' reads linux text files ok

I had an email today from the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge, they wanted to share a photo of their temporary display on the Newbear and my father that was set up today. It will be on display in the museum till at least mid-May if anyone happens to visit, please take a moment to look for this.
Their website is www.computinghistory.org.uk

Fantastic! I'll be visiting later this month. Looking forward to seeing it
