I was not aware of this magazine, but found a good example on e-bay, by chance.

It seems to be ZX80 related, but seems to be mostly white paper text, instead of the usual glossy paper.
Would this be something of interest for preservation ?
I would say so, but I'm not even aware if there are already digital records/copies of it, somewhere else.

Re: Magazine Syntax Z80 - Preservation
Ok, Archive.org has only the first 3 volumes. The Ebay listing has a 4th volume. It's like a hybrid trade/usergroup type newsletter. Last year of publication probably would be interesting. But quality wise its a usergroup circular so for the money its a personal decision but I couldn't justify it.
To put this into some perspective, I got a complete run of INPUT for 5 quid...

That's because magazines links in ZXDB are just references to Archive.org.ZXDunny wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2019 11:11 pmSeems to be a fair number of dead links in there.Einar Saukas wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2019 11:06 pm https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... mag_id=313
Whenever a magazine collection is incomplete at Archive.org, we get broken links at ZXDB based sites like SC.
I will start a separate thread to talk about magazines in ZXDB, detailing our current work and status about it...

Re: Magazine Syntax Z80 - Preservation
I just got informed of a more complete collection that will be uploaded to Archive.org.
I'm updating ZXDB accordingly, so most links for this magazine will work after the next update.
