Dreamcards Misc 1 disk and a manual for the Microbee - ChickenMan - 20-12-2025
Thanks to DavidM for making this disk available to be imaged. It was a standard Microbee DS40 5.25" disks that imaged 100% error free using my Greaseweazle. Disk is auto booting, had no copy protection and runs from drive A: only. The original disk label was also scanned.
The disk auto boots to a Menu for easy selection of the programs which is a mixture of games, utilities and others. If you select I for Instructions, you then press the key for the program you want the instructions for.
We already have 4 of the 5 programs on the disk with the PSI-Test new to the Repository. However, the Dissassembler is the disk version rather than the tape version we currently have and Psychotec is an "upgraded" version. The manual for the PSI-Test program is on the disk as a Wordstar file, this was extracted and converted to a PDF also. Its 3 pages long and includes a Basic listing of a Random Event Generator Test program that could be useful.
I do like the bottom line warning on the Menu though, probably due to the blatant copyright infringements that occurred back in the 80's. Not sure if that warning was actually true or not.
Where to put it in the MbeeTech Repository, I ended up deciding on the Microbee/Software/Games folder -
dreamcards_misc_1_ds40.dsk
psi_test_instructions.pdf <-- in the Documentation/Manuals/Software folder
dreamcards_misc_disk.jpg <-- in the Documentation/Pictures/Disks/5.25_inch folder
