I went to a high-school in the 1980's that had Microbee computers. After months of nagging my parents I got one for home. I spent years writing my own software including a bunch of games, some of which have been archived. I started on a 16k tape Microbee in 1983, upgraded to a 64k Computer-in-a-book when it came out, and finally to the Premium 128k which I altered to be software switchable between a clock speed of 3.375mhz and 6.75mhz. It runs a Z80H cpu and has been rewired to allow an IO port to switch the clock speed. I no longer have my BeeModem as I turned it into an auto-modem that was software controllable via the PIO port when I created my own CP/M BBS software for the Microbee. I still have a BeeTalker somewhere and the Experimenters board for the Premium 128k Microbee.
I attended MBUG meetings regularly and have lots of their mags. I also have a complete set of the Online mag from Applied Technology, along with a lot of stuff I collected at the computer show each year.
I have some old books, such as the Hackers Handbook, Wildcards I and II, an Assembled book for the Bee, and some manuals.
I still have my old Premium 128k and chook-in-a-book disk drive, tho I have not turned it on in decades.
I am still located in Melbourne and think it might be nice to get as much of this stuff archived as possible for history.
