Beta Basic Newsletter: 13, 14 and 15

Post by PeterJ »

I'm very grateful to @morane who has kindly scanned issues 13, 14 and 15 of the Beta BASIC Newsletter for us. Thanks also go to @flatduckrecords who converted these to PDF. The file sizes are large to maintain the image quality.

The PDFs are available here. I also have the original JPG scans if anyone would like them.

Just a note that the line at the bottom of page 9 in issue 13 is hard to read (This is the case on the original document). Alain believes it reads 'single Plus 2 ROM. The machine then acted like a Plus 2 and ran'.

Please feel free to share these via social media or on your own websites. All I request is that you include a link back to this post.

Enjoy!

@Einar Saukas - Would you be OK to add these to ZXDB please?

When I get back to my Spectrum, I've been a bit busy with other stuff lately 😉
I'll try and finish the type-ins of examples and demos from the BB Newsletters.

@flatduckrecords has very kindly re-typed issue 13. The PDF is attached to this post, so you can now copy text as you wish.

There is a fascinating piece by Andrew Wright which starts on page 4 which goes into great detail about how wonderful the new SAM Coupé was going to be. How sad that things ended the way they did.
