I know there are members of the Microbee Technology Forum that are also members of the microbee-mspp.org.au forum and I'd like to let you know of
a change of web address for the MSPP.

Due to auDA rulings about .org.au eligibility - making the use of .org.au quite complex and costly, there has been a need for the MSPP to move from
microbee-mspp.org.au to microbee-mspp.org (no '.au' on the end).

If you have bookmarks for the MSPP, please update them.

Currently the microbee-mspp.org.au web address still works, but it will only be for a limited time.
As of today microbee-mspp.org.au redirects automatically to microbee-mspp.org 

It would be best to start accessing the MSPP at the microbee-mspp.org web address from today onwards.]]>

I've just done a number of updates to the forum from MyBB Version 1.8.21 individually through to 1.8.30 (9 updates)
to apply security patches and regular maintenance / code upgrades.  
Please let me know if previously working parts of the forum are now broken, or things you notice that are now working 
where they weren't before.]]>

The main page has been refreshed with some of our new products shown, plus links to the forum.
The page on the VGA video converter (kits) has been updated to reflect the change in the product name
to UpScaling Video converters, also adding the HDMI version and that the items are now fully
assembled and tested rather than kit form.
New pages include details on the PS/2 keyboard adapter and Keyboard replacement kits.

To go along with the Microbee Technology Forum, we have a file repository to make available
lots of Microbee information and software.

Over time, we will add extra information and software for other vintage computer systems (non-microbee).

Please note though, that the repository, and this forum, is maintained by Microbee Technology and volunteers
as time and resources are available.  Also, the repository, and the items in it, are being made available at no cost to
the end user.  We do this to encourage a community spirit and provide a place to talk about (the forum) and get
supporting software and documentation (from the repository).

To gain access to the repository is simple:

Follow this link, and fill out the web form if you agree to abide by the terms and conditions 
(effectively an End User License Agreement).  On submission of the web form, Microbee Technology
will receive your request & process it as time permits.  The process is not automatic - that is, someone
has to read your request and create an account in the repository for you manually. After this is done,
you will receive an email with your login link and initial password (which you should then login with and
change to something you choose).

If you require assistance with the repository ( how to download items etc.. ) please ask questions in this thread.

One further note.  As noted in the terms and conditions, the items in the repository are there for download for
individuals as long as the items are not redistributed in any way.  Please don't abuse this.  The vast back-catalog
of software, and documentation is being made available at no cost, but we still retain ownership and copyright
over the works.  There are quite a few of the files that we will be able to determine that they came from our
repository if they are found appearing in other places.  If there is a particular use that you have that requires
redistribution, please talk to us and get permission & or rights to do so.


There is now a second option for getting access to files in the repository.

If you don't want, or need access to the files that require signing an End User Agreement (Microbee Technology Intellectual property), then you
can request access to the rest of the files (publicly available information - Public and Vintage Repositories) by clicking on the following link :

https://www.microbeetechnology.com.au/MT...NonEUA.htm

An account will be set up for you in the repository which will give you log in access for the non-restricted areas.

We also feel it is important to preserve the old technology for future generations and to enable members to re-live fond memories from the past.

While Microbee Technology retains the ownership and copyright over the material, we would like to make it publically available at no cost to the end user. Our library of software and documentation has been archived and also with the help of the general community we have built a lasting Microbee collection to share with the Microbee microcomputer community in our Repository. New material recovered and donated will be added on a regular basis and announced in the forum.

The forum has been setup to serve as a meeting place for interested members to share their computer experiences and problems with other interested members. Members will also be able to share their Microbee related projects and files with others.]]>
