Thanks to kimjohn for making his last folder of Bits and Bytes Newsletters available for scanning to help in adding to or repairing the collection that we already have in the repository. These were originally from the Newsletter Editor of the TRS-80/System 80 User Group, Brisbane. In Feb 1994 (see issue #128) the group changed its name from TRS-80/System 80 Computer Users Group Inc. to Bits & Bytes Computer Users Group Inc. as more and more of its members moved to MS-DOS computers.
The folder contained Issues No. 83 through to 143 which continued on from the previous folder above. We have all of those currently in the Repository except for one new addition, #126. Slowly going through them page by page a few problems were found in various editions including front pages not colourized, a few missing pages and a couple of pages were difficult to read fully. These problems have all been fixed, so we now have a complete collection of these Newsletters from #001 through to #145 in very good condition and each issue complete. If anyone has any issues after #145 we would love to hear from you.
The ZIP file collections each containing 10 Newsletters have also been updated with these updated editions also.
Also found in the folder was a Members Hardware Form they use to update their members list to included the members hardware and model they owned.
So in the Vintage Repository in the System-80\Documentation\Newsletters\Bits_and_Bytes folder we updated or added
Bits_&_Bytes_082.pdf
to
Bits_&_Bytes_108.pdf
Bits_&_Bytes_114.pdf
Bits_&_Bytes_115.pdf
Bits_&_Bytes_116.pdf
Bits_&_Bytes_119.pdf
Bits_&_Bytes_120.pdf
Bits_&_Bytes_126.pdf <-- new addition previously missing
members_hardware_form.pdf
