Newsletter 2 — June 96
New demo from Tigers Claw!
On January 1st 1997, we get a new TV station called Channel 5. So far so interesting I hear you yawn. The problem is, it will be broadcasting on channel 36, the same channel that the Spectrum uses (and Megadrives, Nintendos etc.) They start testing in London next month, so if my TV's output starts playing up you'll hear about it! If the new station does interfer with the Speccy signal (and various people in the know have said it will) then we may have to rely on the super lawyers employed by Sega, Nintendo and Sony. Watch this screen!
When I took on the Alchemist Research PD library, the RADIO/COMMS section was left out. After a few requests this section will shortly reappear; once the titles have been cleaned up a little and I can see exactly what I've got (and if most of it is still useful). I'm told the VTX5000 can still be used via the telephone network to log-on with something. Exactly what I'm not sure!
The first update sheet for Catalogue 2 is nearly finished, I'm hoping to fill both sides of an A4 sheet by the middle of June so expect to see it with your order shortly.
I can see no shortage of new/old stuff on the horizon so I'll keep shovelling if you keep wanting!
Best wishes,
Dave Fountain
