ubee512 how to emulate Microbee Programs ? - PeterJo - 27-10-2024

Hello,
I am about to embark on getting old Microbee programs to work on a windows computer.
I do not have a clue !!!

I need to download ubee512 and install it?
Then do I need to buy an EPROM gadget from EBay?
Then get the software from the repository and somehow get it on to the EPROM?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Peter

Yes, install ubee512, download all the EPROMs from the repository also, no hardware needed, just a PC  Real EPROMs only needed for real Microbees.  I think almost all your programs from the 80's are on 3 disks that have been imaged 100% error free and you run then from ubee512.  You put the downloaded disk image (extract from the zip file) in the ubee512/disk folder and roms/eproms (thats BN56, charrom and rom1), in the ubee512/roms folder and then from the Windows Command prompt, type in some thing like -

ubee512  p128k -a jandhbeesware_01_ds40.dsk

and pretty soon this will appear
