Lloyd Borrett - Microbee Matilda - lloyd_borrett - 17-10-2025
G'day,
The other day, I was searching the web to update details on my website page about the PC Connection Australia BBS I ran back in the day. See https://www.borrett.id.au/computing/pcbbs.htm
I came across some information about the Microbee Matilda. But it was wrong!
So I'm creating a web page about my involvement with the Microbee Matilda - see https://www.borrett.id.au/computing/microbee-matilda.htm
It's an early work in progress, which I hope helps the Microbee community.
If anyone has a working Microbee Matilda, I'd love a screenshot of my Menu System program running under DOS to add to my web page.
Some of you may remember me as a columnist in Your Computer magazine, back in the day—or maybe as the founder and inaugural President of the Melbourne PC User Group.

Welcome to the forum
Great to hear about the early development of the Matilda. Unfortunately with regards to a Matilda, I only have its Manual and an unpopulated PCB. I have never seen the Matilda Brochure before so will add it into our archives.
Since they only sold 200 Matilda's not many have survived, I only know the existence of 2 units.

Welcome indeed, great update to the final chapter of the original Microbee saga.
I'm curious. As a sysop did you have any dealings with Julian Assange circa 1990-1993?

Never had anything to do with him.
