Microbee Documentation

All things Microbee.
A work in progress at the moment, I am collecting all I can on the Microbee.
I have a Microbee 32K, heavily modified from the original design.

History of the Microbee

Around 1978 Owen Hill teamed up with an electronic components company, Applied Technology of Hornsby (Sydney), to build a small computer he had designed. It was based on a Zilog Z80 with up to 32 Kbytes of RAM plus 32 Kbytes of ROM holding Microworld Australia Basic, a TV display of 16 lines by 64 characters, and they sold it as a kit. The Microbee flew - the range was extended and several hundred thousand were made during the 1980s. It was sold to Australian schools and exported to Sweden and Russia.
