These are a few pics I took of all the Microbees, etc I took when finally setup and before the crowd arrived. Note the 4 large Microbee posters in the background.
This shows my Kit Microbee with its original Monitor, red Case, original Manuals and the YC Magazine it was launched in (Feb '82). The Printer & Microbee 16 were from ACMS's collection (didnt bring mine) and my PC85 on the end with Tape unit and a few Tapes.
Next shows my 56k Microbee running its Boot disk, then the Overdrive 128k (though not plugged in at the moment), then my 512k Compact Flash unit (the Shell shows A: with 5012 kb available), a BeeModem behind, then a Teleterm & Manual (again not plugged in at the moment) with a ChalkBoard at the back (forgot its cable) followed by my 256TC with large Gotek screen on top.
This shows my 256TC again and a Microbee Mitac Portable with its bag & Manual behind and a Matilda Manual in the front. The last is my Archiving unit, a P4 running Windows XP on an Intel Motherboard where I can Read & Write Microbee 5.25" and 3.5" floppies. On top is an Eprom unit than can read & write all Microbee ROMs, in front of the screen is my Cassette tape deck that reads and writes Microbee, System-80 and Sorcerer Tapes and to the left is a portable flat bed scanner with few new Canberra Microbee Users Group Newsletters on top (that I scanned once home).
