Summaries
Video Inverter
- The unit is simple and easy to fit and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
Let Your BBC Micro Teach You to Program
- BBC Basic is too complex to be explained in detail in a 200-page book. The breathlessness of the explanations given are more likely to confuse than clear the mind of a beginner.
Fuller Sound Box
- The Fuller sound box is a convenient and simple way of getting round some of the limitations of the Spectrum's sound facilities.
