Microbee Demonstration Tape Description sheet + Demo Disk Insert - ChickenMan - 22-11-2020
Thanks to Hans for providing a scan of this document, a single A4 page. Plus I also found tucked in an unrelated manual the Insert for the 3.5" Demonstration Disk.
The Demo Tape sheet gives a good descriptions of the 6 programs on A Side and the 6 programs on the B Side. From the sheet :
Your MicroBee computer has been provided with a tape of demonstration software to assist you to quickly understand the programming techniques for drawing in LORES, HIRES, and PCG (Programmable Character Generation). Although all of the programs provided are relatively short, it does allow us to put a wider range of software onto the tape, and keeps the programs small enough to be easily examined on the VDU.
The 3.5" disk was supplied just in its normal disk plastic sleeve and this Insert fits inside it. Has a screen dump of the disks menu on one side and a list of the available Honeysoft disks at the time.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Documentation/Manuals/Software folder we placed
microbee_demonstration_tape_instructions.pdf
