CHARTER (Proponent)
The proposed unmoderated newsgroup comp.sys.amstrad.8bit will be open
to discussions about the Amstrad CPC (464, 664, 6128, 464+, 6128+),
PcW (8256, 8512, 9256, 9512, 9512+, QUibble) and GX4000.
Appropriate topics would include, but not be limited to :
- CPC/PcW/GX4000 hardware, software,
- CPCEMU, the CPC emulator from Marco Vieth, currently v1.0 at
oak.oakland.edu in /SimTel/msdos/emulator/CPCEMU10.ZIP
In the future, if they are too many message about it, we will
discuss about a comp.emulators.cpc newsgroup,
- specific Amstrad CP/M files, overlays...
etc...
The only topic that is excluded is:
discussion of Amstrad PC-compatible (1512, 1640, 2x86, 3x86 and
others Amstrad compatible I don't know) because these computers
are really compatible, so comp.sys.ibm.pc.* newsgroups must be
used.
In the future, the newsgroup could be reorganized in
comp.sys.amstrad.8bit.cpc and comp.sys.amstrad.8bit.pcw if really
needed.
The newsgroup, if created, will be relayed on BBS as not everybody can
read newsgroups, they will have also files for CPC/PcW :
* genesis : the 8bit generation, FIDO 2:320/220
this french BBS will open this summer,
* Aspects BBS, FIDO 2:250/107 in U.K.
Expect other BBS in the future, we are looking for a BBS in Germany.
The BBS will take care to post valid messages, not to post dupes, etc...
FTP sites with CPC files :
* ftp.demon.co.uk in /pub/cpm, specific Amstrad CP/M files,
thanks to Paul Martin
* ftp.nvg.unit.no (soon), thanks to Arnt Gulbrandsen
And perhaps a coming french site.
Sinclair and Commodore 8bit users have their own newsgroup, the CPC/PcW
were widely sold in U.K., France and Germany, also in other countries.
It's time to have now our own newsgroup to discuss about these good
computers. Nostalgia, when you hold me...
