Microbee's Honeysoft Disk collection

[ChickenMan]

Honeysoft was the publishing division of Microbee and they not only produced all the manuals but also some floppy disks in both 5.25" and 3.5" format. These were incompatible with CP/M and were copy protected but ubeedisk can copy and write these disks. There appears to have been 4 different types of the disks produced over time.

T1 = Monochrome text & Black background
T2 = Colour text & Black background
T3 = Colour text & coloured background
T4 = Multicoloured text & Black background

   

I suspect the T2 and T3 are same type. They all work on a 56k, CIAB or 128k. Only the latest T4 will work on the 256tc. The images themselves can be written to either a 5.25" or 3.5" disk using ubeedisk as all are 40track single sided images.  There is one that is 80tr, learning_can_be_fun_words&numbers and only found on a 3.5" disk and T4.

The latest version of each, mostly T4 are already available in the repository in the Games or Education folder but thought it wise to present all the different types found over the last decade or so and not lost. I'm sure the collection is far from complete so if anyone has any other versions/types not included here, please let us know.

So in the MbeeTech Repository in the new Microbee/Software/System_Disks/Honeysoft folder we placed these 73 disk images
