Hi from Brisbane - karmann - 24-11-2022
Thanks for the add.
I had a 56K Microbee in the early 80's with dual floppies that I could run CP/M on as I was using MP/M at school and it was "fun" at the time.
I also picked up a newer model around 2003 but don't remember the specifics and for some reason I decided to sell it in 2010.
Anyway, just recently I picked up a number of unpopulated 8501-4 Premium Main Boards and MB8342 Core Boards so started hunting for some info and landed here (again). Hoping to build out at least 1 set but not sure if all parts will be available. Will start a new thread at some stage for that long term project.
Look forward to re-living some of the great memories of the bee as a kid.

Welcome to the forum karmann
I'm pretty sure you will be able to pick up everything needed to get one going. Suggest you get access to the repository for the schematics and technical manuals as well as the EPROM code needed. Any questions, just ask.

Thanks ChikenMan and good to know the build should be possible.
I’ll spend some time reading through the repository.
Cheers

OK, I've tried to look but cannot find where the Repository is but I'm sure it's staring me right in the face
Please help

Thanks again ChickenMan. I did find it soon after posting and I thought I deleted the post but I didn't check delete or something like that. Anyway, I've signed up so now just waiting for approval.
Cheers
