I thought I'd pop my head in and see what this place is about. - Robert - 06-11-2019
After receiving an invite, I thought I'd pop my head in and see what this place is about.
I was going to apply for repository access, but declined when I saw the amount of personal information required. I would have thought that my forum login would be enough.
Anyway, to introduce myself, I do not own any Microbees, nor do I want to. My interest lies in emulation. I am the maintainer in MAME for the emulation of the Microbee, the Super-80, the Exidy Sorcerer, and several other Australian computers.
I'll try to answer any questions you may have about emulation of these systems in MAME.

Welcome to the forum Robert, great to see you here. One question though, most of the Microbee MAME emulation are marked as not working, any reason for that, as most do anyway.

You're right, they do mostly work. There's a few edge cases though, which prevents me from marking them as fully working.
But, for the average user, everything should function as intended.
Thanks for the welcome, and I'm interested in seeing how this forum grows.
Oh, is there a button where I can get a list a new posts since my last visit? This forum seems devoid of standard features.

This forum seems devoid of standard features.There are 7 main Forums, go into each one, one at a time, and top right corner there is Subscribe to this Forum option. Click that and you will then get notified of any new posts by email.
You can also use the Search option. Go down to Find Posts from any Post Date and make a selection. Dont put anything in the Search box at the top and hit the Search button at the bottom.

Welcome aboard Robert!
Your involvement with MAME and the microbee sounds fascinating.
Are you able to provide some advice on customising and rebuilding the MAME microbee emulation?
Cheers
Someone.
