	Secret of project Granny Smith - Next - Technology - theage.com.au
		The Microbee grew from DIY kits and was soon adopted by schools across the nation and as far away as Scandinavia, Asia and Russia.
		The first 1000 Microbees were sold as kits with a $100 service and support option but many customers bought the kit and left $100 to have it built.
		Microbee Systems imported and badged some Taiwanese IBM clones but the company was running out of cash and later went into receivership.

	The MicroBee Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The MicroBee was housed in a stylish two tone injection-moulding case, which incorporated the keyboard, utilised the 8-bit Zilog Z-80 processor, and was thus very similar to the clunky Radio Shack TRX-80 home computer (first released in 1977).
		The MicroBee was slanted mainly to the school market, and was notably adopted and widely used in Swedish schools.
		Overall, several hundred thousand MicroBee units were manufactured at Terrigal, near Gosford, N.S.W., ranging from the MicroBee 32K with just 32k bytes of CMOS RAM, utilising acoustic tapes for program/data long-term storage, to MicroBee64 models, some offering colour, equipped with floppy drives, running the CP/M operating system.

		Some models of mid 1980s are MicroBee 32IC, MicroBee 128K, MicroBee S3.
		Note that all but the latest "premium" models where limited to 2K of graphics memory, so could not display the full 512 x 256 pixels at once.

		You will discover that these systems may not be amenable to using IBM PC stuff, that they may need 8-inch floppy drives, that these systems may not support hard drives.
		A notible system of the era was the Heath\Zenith Z-100, a dual processor 8085/8088 system that could run CP/M 80, CP/M 86 and MS-DOS: and very similar to the popular Compupro 8\16 system.
		New IEEE-696 systems were subsequently developed through the end of the 1980's, primarily for industrial and/or development (non-CP/M) applications, particularly where multiprocessing or speed were important.

	Control of Canada Geese
		Their digestive system voids large amounts of excrement on land where it befouls the grass around and destroys the amenity for the park users.
		Microbee controls them by using various barrier systems to separate the water areas from the grazing areas so that the geese cannot transit easily between the two.
		Microbee also promotes a habitat management system which, by clever use of planting and control of nearby grassland makes a location less attractive to Canada Geese.

		The system is strictly speaking a home-brew variant of the Ithaca machine, using an S100 cardcage without a front panel.
		The proliferation of new systems supported by Kermit-80 made the program grow so large and complicated that it had to be broken up into system-independent and system-dependent modules, as of version 4 (this was done by Charles Carvalho of ACC).
		The most important system dependencies are terminal emulation (when CONNECTed to the remote host) and screen handling, which are dependent on the individual micro's escape codes (these features are table driven and easily modified for other CP/M systems), and the lowest level I/O routines for the serial communications port.

		Well the problem is that each computer or system has a unique keyboard, and that it will need some blending...I think 50% alpha blending so the keyboard and computer screen can be seen at the same time.
		The systems have to be compiled into the prc, so they are either there or not, can't change it at runtime.
		Well in all honesty the chances are almost none since emulation has to go full tilt and if you let the system handle events you get around 1/100th the speed.

	Commodore 64 :: View topic - C64 mentioned in the book, not the Microbee
		The Microbee was housed in a stylish two tone injection-moulding case, which incorporated the keyboard, utilised the 8-bit Zilog Z-80 processor, and was thus very similar to the clunky Radio Shack TRX-80 home computer (first released in 1977).
		Overall, several hundred thousand MicroBee units were manufactured at Terrigal, near Gosford, N.S.W.

		One important reason for the Microbees ultimate failure was that the manufacturer, Applied Technology, was somewhat slow in upgrading the early Microbee to have full graphic capabilities.

		The Microbee was released as a kit in 1982 on the cover of Your Computer magazine, the manual was included free with the magazine.
		Their main market (especially for the 32) were Australian schools, which had the Microbee recommended as the preferred system.
		There were also two really keen prototype systems, the Gamma and the Delta, which were intended to compete with the Amigas, but problems within the company led to their cancellation not long before the company's collapse.
