Looks like my old scanner couldn't handle the workload and died mid-document. Anyway, a replacement scanner is now up and running and I'm back to scanning documents whilst watching TV.

I've just uploaded some German 8870 Micro 7 documentation.

Site reorganisation complete

2/1/2016

0 Comments

 
This morning I reorganised the entire site. A lot of the pages I'd previously written weren't actually accessible or were difficult to find. Ohh come on, it was my first attempt at a website.

​Anyway, I went though everything and made sure that all the pages are now accessible... I think.
​
​Now, all of the information on this site has either been extracted from the scraps of documentation that I've got, from my failing memory or from information that readers have supplied. If you spot anything that isn't clear or just plain wrong, PLEASE let me know so I can correct it. None of us are getting any younger and if this information isn't recorded soon it may be lost forever.

​Likewise, if you've been squirreling documentation under your bed please let me know. I'll happily take it off your hands and give it a good home, or scan it and return it to you if that's your wish. Whatever I get hold of will end up on this site... eventually.

New English manuals added

Happy new year to everybody.
​
​Once again, I need to apologise for neglecting the site. I just don't seem to have much time these days. Anyway, I've spent some time over the festive season scanning in manuals. It's amazing how simple it is to do whilst watching TV. I've added a BASIC manual (original English version) and a BASIC program tuning manual, again in English. I never knew this second manual existed. It's an interesting if not short read.

The next manual I will scan is the Micro 7 one I have.

    I'm a software developer, an engineer and I love vintage computers, but the 8870 has a very special place in my heart.
