Thanks to pkretro who recently send me 14 original Microbee 3.5" floppies to image. All imaged 100% error free but unfortunately, we already had copies of all of them. However, there were still some items that we don't have in the Repository.
Dear Microbee Customer letter was a small double sided A5 brochure folded twice (now A7 size) to slip into the plastic cover of the Demonstration Disk. It explains the difference in copyright between hardware and software and advises the Monitor XR and XW commands only work for the first 40 tracks. It also explains the Software Limited Warranty and how to upgrade your software if needed or when available.
The 128k Master 3.5" Disk contained the BACKUP.COM program. This version allows for backing up in a single drive Microbee, not tested if it also works on 5.25" disks though.
While we had images of all the Honeysoft disks, we didn't have scans of the labels of 3 of them, so they are included here also.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Microbee\Documentation\Articles folder we placed
dear_microbee_customer.pdf
backup.com --> in Software\System_files\Backup folder
adventures_vol_2.jpg <-- in the Documentation\Pictures\Disks\3.5_inch folder
