Applied Technology and Microbee adverts. - The MESSUI Place

At last - the no corn
Do you want to build your own
state of the art computer? Do
you want a computer which can
grow and expand with your
changing needs? Then MicroBee
is the answer.
MicroBee incorporates some of the
most advanced technology available
today. So it's not surprising that it has
features not available on computers
such as APPLE and TRS80; like built in
sound and battery backup. And it comes
standard with features that are supplied
as options on these machines. Like
upper/lower case, H i Res (512x256)
programmable graphics and an RS232
port for printers and modems.
Superbly Expandable
Most personal Micros offer good value
in their basic form, but let you down
when it comes to expansion. This is
where MicroBee is different. The top or
`Core' board of the MicroBee plugs in
and offers tremendous expansion
potential. As standard, you can have
32K RAM.16K BASIC in ROM is standard
and there is room for a further 12K of
ROM (For the Monitor ROM and
Networking ROM).
For people whose needs grow further,
we have provided two things:-
YES! CP/M and S100
• AII the Z80 CPU pins necessary have
been brought out (see photo) to the rear
of the Core Board. So your MicroBee
can be interfaced with any of the S100
standards.
• In the near future, MicroBee owners
will be able to have their machines
factory upgraded (by the fitting of a
modified Core board and other mods.) to
48K RAM/S100 running CP/M and disc
drives. The programmable VDU chip in
MicroBee allows the switch to 80x24
screen format.
M icroBee opens the doors to the massive
library of CP/M software. MicroBee is
the most forward thinking Micro you can
buy today. It is your best starting point,
wherever you want to go in personal
computing. And it's still only $399 in kit
form.
YES! 16K ROM BASIC
MicroBee has been developed as the
finest instructional computer on the
market. Its superb 16K BASIC in ROM
makes this possible. Whether you are a
novice or advanced enthusiast,
MicroWorld BASIC is a delight to use,
with its advanced error reporting and
powerful graphics facilities.
YES! Continuous
Memory is here
The use of the latest CMOS RAM chips,
(6116), has made battery backup of
memory possible. Just think, you can
store a program or data in RAM, switch
off, move to a new location and your
program and data is still there.
