SP2 9LJ Tel (0722) 331442 Friday 13 August I was recently in my local computer shop 'The Computer Place' and was suprised to find some old BBC guides next to their A3010 computer. After I said I was interested in buying, I was told that that wasn't all of them and the man disappeared into the back room returning with a couple of piles of BBC related books. Anyway I bought them all but found when I got home that there were several copies of some of the books and a few others were of little interest to me. As a result I am able to sell these at low prices. This is partly due to my being a generous chap but mostly so that I can spend the money on manuals that I need. Other members may find it worthwhile to check out their local dealers (assuming they've been around a few years) to see whether they have a stockpile of old manuals. All prices are fully inclusive of postage. BBC Micro User Guide - 3 copies. Original edition 1982 518 pages Supplied with Model A & B computers written by the BBC. Includes Addendum & Errata sheets. Not in brilliant conditon but at least the bindings are okay. £3 (each) BBC Micro User Guide - 1 copy Updated edition 1984 512 pages. This is similar to the original edition but has been edited and updated by Acorn (I am unsure as to whether this is a selling point) and was supplied along with the B+ computer. Includes Errata sheet. In much better condition than the above hence the higher price. £5 ##### The 6502 Second Processor User Guide - 1 copy. 1984 49 pages. Describes the memory map on the second processor: The Hi-Basic rom and the differences between the DNFS and the standalone DFS and NFS roms. Frankly though I don't think it would be of much use to a Master turbo owner. In very good condition. £1 ###### Acorn Electron Plus One Guide - 1 copy 1984 22 pages. A thin volume but does decribe the plus one quite well includes stuff on cartridges, printers and the pin usage on the analouge socket. Also has details on the addional FX/Osbyte commands provided by the plus one rom. (most of which are concerned with the expansions of course) In very good condition. £1 ##### Disc Filing System : Manual for BBC Micro. 1 copy. Fifth Editon. 1988 115 pages. Originally Supplied with the Watford DFS upgrade. Does note which features are specific to the Watford DFS and includes quite advanced info on the disc format/low level commands for accessingthe DFS. In very good condition. £2 ##### View guide & Into View :A 2 book set (3 sets) 52 pages / 70 pages 1984 The View guide is the reference manual of the set and details the functions of the various erm, function keys and then moves onto rulers, embedded commands, page layouts, macros, highlights registers, editing BASIC programs etc. Into View : More of a tutorial compared with the View guide, intended to gently initiate the user into the pleasures of using View and re-educate them out of any bad habits they may have learned while using inferior products such as Wordwise. (DON'T BELIEVE HIM. WW IS INFERIOR TO NOTHING, but IF YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER THAN VIEW, IT is USABLE, AND THESE BOOKS WOULD BE A GOOD BUY. ED.) Both are intended for View 2.1 but I will enclose a sheet detailing the differences between 3 and 2.1 All are in very good condition. £2 (per set) ##### Well thats the lot for now, although I do have a few other manuals to specific pieces of software, and hope that I can get the shop to actually find the associated discs and roms.
