Hi From Peter ( ThomasT) - ThomasT - 06-02-2021
I joined the forum because Im interested in retro computing and electronics
I was searching for material published by Colin Mitchel and his name is mentioned ina few of the forum posts.
I wanted to read some of the old items he published back aound the 80s decade I think.
Ive never had a Microbee, but had a DREAM 6800 DIY, Ohio Scientific Superboard CP4, Dick Smith System 80, Apple II+ and maybe some others Ive forgotten about ...

Welcome aboard!
Aside from the microbee, Applied Technology had a DREAM 6802 kit. It was the DREAM6800 some alterations and additional software made by Matthew Starr.
The 6802 had a much simpler clock circuit.
Colin Mitchell's Talking Electronics stuff is great. He even released a Z80 project (TEC-1) that minimised it to the max unlike Applied Technology's approach to provide maximum functionality with their DG-Z80 S-100 board.
It included features such as Software Write Protection, Programmable Interrupt Controller, Counter/Timers, Parallel I/O, Sense Port and a weeny bit of RAM and ROM which could be augmented with external S-100 boards.
Colin Mitchell would be the best contact. He's apparently still working on TE stuff and is contactable using http://www.talkingelectronics.com/te_interactive_index.html
Cheers
Someone

Thanks for letting us know, I've passed this on the Ewan as he looks after Repo membership. Hopefully it will be sorted soon.

Hi ThomasT.
I've sent you an email with your log in details for the repository.
Our servers spam filters have been gobbling a few valid emails of late.
I did get your second one though.
Best regards
