See issue 20 for further details. If you are easily offended then DO NOT order TYB-01, TYB-05, or TYB-06. OTHER TBI DISKS AVAILABLE All these items require one DFS 80T DS disk except where marked otherwise. TBI-01 Software apparently intended for use in Adult Literacy courses (vocabulary practice etc.), possibly useful for Primary School English etc. *** DFS 80T SS *** TBI-02 Disk from Red Shift PD; games by Bazzasoft/Adrian Jackson. Some of these fail on my Master 128, and some of those that work aren't much good; there is also a D&D NPC designer as well, apparently. Worth a look though: *** DFS 80T SS *** TBI-03 *** TWO DISKS REQUIRED *** Small C compiler and notes. TBI-04 6502 Macro Assembler & Manual(also supports 65C1(0)2 commands if you have a Master). TBI-05 Maths Educational Software - Primary Education. *** DFS 80T SS *** TBI-06 Red Shift Public Domain music disk. A quite large number of tunes, mostly old stuff off (or seen on) bulletin boards).

TBI-09 Harston PD fonts disk - contains huge numbers of good-quality fonts, plus software to load them and various font-related utilities + more. ***IMPORTANT*** : TBI-08 and 09 are supplied in HADFS format and require you to have the HADFS ROMimage loaded in order to read the disks. See issue 14 for an old version of HADFS to allow you to read these disks. TBI-10 Another disk of music, I'm unsure where from (it's entitled MUSIC 1), but again, mainly old tunes. However there are quite a few of them. TBI-11 AMX Stop Press Fonts and Cutouts. A total of 62 files. TBI-13 C. Ince Digitised Pictures (This now requires THREE DFS 80T DS disks, for which you get pics of U2, Faith No More and Red Dwarf, plus a few others). TBI-14 *** DFS 80T SS *** Welsh Boys' sampled sound, including the excellent Knight Rider mix and some ripped-off TYB stuff. TBI-15 360K of "Office" Clip Art. THE XBI SECTION These disks are only available to members who can read ADFS L disks. It is a way of getting a very large amount of PD software for a very small amount of money! The details of the disks from BBC PD, indicated by their catalogue numbers below, will be found in the BBC PD catalogue, included with issue 20 - I suggest you look through it and work out what you want (or just order everything; it doesn't cost that much!) XBI-01 Mad Rabbit PD's MR-17 - Big Disk of BASIC Music. About 110 tunes, well over 600K of music. XBI-02 NOT YET AVAILABLE - will hopefully be MR-18, another 110 tunes XBI-03 Massive US shareware C tutorial (BBC PD 48) + X-TEL, a MODE 7 system (screen designer etc.) originally from Red Shift PD. XBI-04 BBC PD 70, 92, 107 XBI-05 BBC PD 7, 39, 94 XBI-06 BBC PD 12, 83 XBI-07 BBC PD 38, 71, 105 XBI-08 BBC PD 49, 96 XBI-09 BBC PD 108, 109 XBI-10 BBC PD 29, 47, 62, 101 XBI-11 BBC PD 2, 33, 106 XBI-12 BBC PD 18, 54, 110 XBI-13 BBC PD Catalogue & Sampler Disk + BBC PD 55. (C&S disk currently very out of date - my fault) If you order any of XBI-04 to XBI-13, you will have to use DIRCOPY or any other similar program to copy each BBC PD catalogue item from its separate directory on the disk into the $ directory of another ADFS disk in order to use the BBC PD menus. For example, the $ directory of XBI-08 contains two directories, $.49 and $.96. $.49 contains everything from BBC PD disk 49 and $.96 contains everything from BBC PD disk 96. An option with some of the XBI PD disks is to use Hugh William's DIRlock utility from issue 21 as an alternative to copying the disks onto more blanks to run them.
