Hello Again!
Bugs
Crispin Boylan was the first to let me
know. The messaging system on the first
100 or so 8BS 63s were not working. I
had a quick look at the file,
everything looked fine, I assume that
a bad byte crept in somewhere on the
master copy. I have now fixed the
masters and hope that it did not
inconvenience too many of you.
8BS Pool on CD! For those of you that use BBC emulators
or for those that have the ability to
transfer from PC to BBC, sections of
the 8BS library are now available on
CD rom. I have given the new section of
the library the title CDR. This is what
is available:
CDR-01 8BS-01 to 8BS-63
CDR-02 512 Section
CDR-03 BBC Section
CDR-04 BUG Section
CDR-05 TAU Section
CDR-06 TBI Section
CDR-07 The CJR, EDU, EMU, GLM, JGH,
JJF, JJR, TDU, and TYB Sections
Files on the CD's are stored as disc
images in several diferent formats.
ADFS, DFS, Single and Double Sided to
allow for preferences in using the
discs in different BBC Emulators.
Also on the CD is a copy of the 8BS
website and a copy of Stuart
McConnachie's PC BBC demo with a disc
image containing his superb graphical
demos.
The CDs are all £10 each
EXCEPT FOR CDR-07 which is £15.
There is one stipulation with these
CD's, that is you are not permitted to
copy them as this could easily damage
8BS.
If you want to transfer software from a
PC to your BBC and you are not sure how
to do it, just ask me!
Jonathan's Bash
I repeat Jonathan Harston's message
here. IMPORTANT! This event has NOT

has organised this event himself
without consulting me. I am in fact on
nights on these dates!

Beebs a-plenty, many networked. Bring
strange pieces of kit. Ask questions,
give answers. Many good local Pubs!
Modems I have had virtually no response so
far to my note last time about modems.
I mentioned that I had one on my BBC
and wanted to experiment with
connecting to other BBCs. So, if you
have a modem on your BBC, why not give
me a ring and give it some exercise?
That is it for now. Thanks for all of
your support with thanks to more people
here than I can shake a stick at!
