Thanks to ejwords for making available a few The Sting newsletters from the Microbee Users Group of Western Australia (MUGWA) for scanning.
However, we already had them all in the Repository but it was found our issue of vol 7 no 11-12 was missing 2 pages, pages 10 & 11. These included one page of all the Club Services available at the time and another of Readers Advertisements. This page had an interesting Microbee disk available :
Microbee users:
"AN ARABIAN KNIGHT"
A Science Fantasy
A full length novel on disk
Available on 5.25” format only for $10.00 plus $2.85 p&p.
Obtainable from: A. Harvey, Western Australia
Has anyone ever heard of, seen or has this novel and if so, what file format was it in, Wordstar maybe ? Sounds like an early eBook to me. Any help in locating this interesting disk or any other information about it or its author would be appreciated.
So in the Public Repository in the Newsletters\Sting folder we replaced
the_sting_v7_11-12_r.pdf
