Microbee website

[staticmem]

I have a small collection of Microbee gear. My main interest is in collecting disks and documentation so that it can be shared with other Microbee enthusiasts. I have set up a simple web site where I have provided some software to assist in dumping disk images, etc from Microbee computers. I am also the author of a Microbee emulator (uBee512) which is my main focus.

The old site no longer exists and has been removed. The site is now located here and is known as the 'Microbee Software Preservation Project' (MSPP) and provides a forum specifically to discuss the Microbee with an emphasis on community involvement.

The above URL no longer works. A while back the Domain Administration (auDA) tightened up the rules on the domains. When the site was founded over 10 years ago we qualified for the ".org.au" domain. We were told we had to change it or comply with the strict rules crackdown. Because of this we changed the domain name to a ".org" (no trailing ".au"). The URL is now: https://www.microbee-mspp.org

Bad link, still has .au. Correct https://www.microbee-mspp.org/

Thanks djg. I don't know what caused that but I can see hovering the mouse on my link it still has the ".au" part attached!

Thanks for that, just had a look through it at the Applied Tech repository and it brings back a lot of absolutely great memories (and a really bad one) about my DG680 S-100 system.

Not sure why the two MicroWorld PILOT manual pdfs are under the 2650 folder as that was for the DG680 Z80. I had that cassette, loaded it once or twice to try it and thought it was a quite useless language compared to BASIC.
Not that the MicroWorld BASIC interpreter was very good either, but was quite an achievement for a high school student(?) to write. I modified it for extra graphics commands like I also did when I got TRS-80 LII BASIC to work with DGOS. Also TRS-80 flight simulator using the PCG. I sadly wish I still had the system along with the stuff I wrote/modified for it, only have some fragments I've described in past posts.

I also like the announcement for the 2102(!) 'RAM sticks', this concept predates SIMMs and DIMMs by decades. Also had no idea but am intrigued that AT did their own SC/MP system to presumably compete with the MiniSCAMP, I would like to find out more about this machine for interest's sake.
