Thanks to kimjohn for making these 2 manuals available for scanning. Both A5 in size and 98 and 72 pages long respectively. Both are also first editions and produced in 1987.
The 256TC is a new CP/M-80 computer from Microbee Systems.
While the 256TC is compatible with previous version of the
Microbee, it incorporates in-built 3.5" disk drives, a new
keyboard and expanded memory.
The current 256tc_system_software_manual.pdf was missing a page at the end and there were 8 pages in section 1 replaced with better quality graphics. The contents are in 4 main sections :-
1. What's in the box
2. The Kernel
3. The Shell
4. The Utilities
Videotex is a low cost terminal emulator software package
that allows you to access Telecom's Viatel and other
videotex services. Included among its features are full
graphic or text screen prints on any Microbee dot matrix
printer, the ability to save up to twenty stored screens
in memory at one time, as well as a fast and complete
display of the screens.
The current 256tc_videotex_manual.pdf manual just needed the front and back covers updated and a couple of pages replaced. All to improve its quality. The contents are in 4 main sections also :-
1. What's on the Menu
2. The Commands
3. Using Viatel
4. Technical Information
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Microbee\Documentation\Manuals\Software folder we re-placed
256tc_system_software_manual.pdf
