Welcome to the Microbee community. Just be warned it can be addictive :-)
(I went from wanting a single unit, to having four different models, as well as designing upgrades and buying and assembling new "core" boards.)
On your questions about heat, depending on the model, there can be a voltage regulator just behind the power connector. Now the 32k models don't usually have one right there, but it is on that side of the board, but closer to the keyboard. It might be that you're feeling the heat from that coming out as that's one of the few places it can escape.
It's possible the PSU is running a bit higher voltage than you need, and I know a lot of us "tweak" the power input to be closer to 9.5-10V (Depending on a range of things) to extend the life of our systems and eliminate heat.
I'll pull out a BASIC 'bee tonight and see what happens if I type in your simple program and report back.
Cheers!

The voltage im using does indeed seem to be too high, (dont worry im not going to use the bee untill i have a better adapter) im using a 11v 1amp dc adapter from an ol jvc cam with a DC jack soldered to it. And one of the ram chips was becoming quite warm during extended usage.
Seeing as you said that heat should only be coming from the voltage regulator, i know for sure i need a different adapter 😀 thanks a lot!
Also sorry for not responding back so soon! I dont get the forum notifications for some reason...
Cheers!

Not working?
Thanks in advance!
What does it do?
If done correctly, should start spamming "hello" all over the console. (Goto basically tells the program TOGO back (or forwards) to a specific numbered code line and continue from there)

Thanks for trying! I guess im just doing something wrong! 😅
