Happy 5th Birthday to the Forum and Repository - ChickenMan - 06-10-2024
We have survived yet another very busy year, so happy 5th birthday to this forum and file repository. A BIG thanks to all those that have contributed to the forum and to the repository throughout the year, without your help none of this will survive. Your continued support is much appreciated.
In the past 12 months we have been busy and there has been many additions to the repository as well as a number of files updated and replaced with better quality scans, complete docs that had missing pages or software to later versions or to working versions.
AppliedTech-Pre-bee had 0 additional files
Documentation had .......79 additional files plus 9 updated
Software had ................68 additional files plus 5 updated
Public had ....................45 additional files plus 9 updated
Vintage had ................592 additional files plus 65 updated
So that's a total of 784 additional files added to the repository and 65 files updated in the last 12 months. These numbers are a bit lower than last years but about the same as our 3nd year. However, new material is getting much harder to find. This now makes a file total of the Repository to be just over 12,300 files all up, wow!
A big thanks to everyone that has contributed, bee it small or large, to help with both the forum and repository grow for the help to all our members and for the future. Lets see if this can be repeated in the next 12 months, though it is getting harder to find new material.
While the forum is mostly Microbee orientated, we do support all Australian Made and Produced Vintage computers plus 2 other imports that were well supported here in Australia, being the Exidy Sorcerer and Dick Smiths System 80. We are continually looking for new material to archive for the future, so if anyone can help with anything Microbee or any other Australian Vintage computer, bee it small or large, that would be greatly appreciated. We can image disks, scan docs, convert images to pdfs, dump tapes, read ROMS, etc for you if you cannot, just ask.
Four new Folders were added to the Vintage Repositories in the past year :-
ETI 681
POSITRONICS
RASE
ROBOTRON
Happy 5th Birthday and thanks to everyone for their continued support.
