MicroBee -<br />
superblyExp<strong>and</strong>able<br />
<strong>The</strong> problem with rrlost personal micros, such as<br />
the TRS80 <strong>and</strong> APPLE lies not such much in the<br />
basic machines, but in the cost of expansion.<br />
Once you have mastered the base machine,<br />
getting it to do any more is very expensive.<br />
MicroBee gets around this by having a special<br />
plug-in top board. We call it the Core Board. <strong>The</strong><br />
MicroBee is supplied as st<strong>and</strong>ard with a Core<br />
Board which takes up to 32K RAM (16K supplied),<br />
16K ROM BASIC, <strong>and</strong> a further 12K ROM (for<br />
Monitor Program, Networking ROM , or your own<br />
custom ROM programs). A factory change fits a<br />
new Core Board so you have 48K RAM , an 80x24<br />
screen format, <strong>and</strong> are ready to run CP/M 2.2<br />
with disc drives.<br />
MicroBee is a new generation design. It is designed<br />
to grow painlessly in the ways we have found most<br />
computer enthusiasts will want to move.<br />
Sofhvcre Growth.<br />
Because it's Z80 based, MicroBee has a huge<br />
software base. And it's a base which we're<br />
improving all the time. MicroBee runs all the<br />
MicroWorld BBASIC software.<br />
Newly released software for March includes-<br />
Eddttor Assembler in ROM Write machine code<br />
software on your MicroBee. BEEBUG monitor lets<br />
you examine <strong>and</strong> modify memory. Supplied with<br />

Cassette Software <strong>The</strong> following programmes<br />
are supplied in machine code on cassette. All<br />

Chatterbox Experiment with artificial intelligence<br />

enemy aircraft <strong>and</strong> you have to blast them out<br />
