All proceeds from the following adverts
go to the 8BS funds.
The 8BS bring and buy box was filled at
the Acorn User show by many generous
donations of software/books and
hardware. Since then 8BS has received
many more donations delivered by post
and even in person.
What an excellent way to boost the
funds! Just look at this lot:
Blank discs £3.40 for 10 including post
and packing.
Some questionnaires mention disc boxes,
so... while stocks last:
£1.30 extra for each ten discs (total
£4.70p) and they will be sent in a good
quality plastic disc box
Eprom programming service. Send the Eprom, program/s on disc and
return postage plus £1.00. I will place
your program/s onto the Eprom for you.
Remember to tell me: 1. The Title of your rom
2. The copyright message
3. The * command/s to invoke the
program/s
4. Any text printed with *HELP
You can have a Basic or machine code
program held in rom. If there is room,
you can have more than one program
stored in the rom.
I will NOT process any program I know
or suspect to be copyright. I will
return any such packages unprocessed.
Watch this space for Eprom supply.
Until then try Maplins.
