In this section there are (or will be) the manuals and ROM images of other Z88 Applications written by Cambridge and 3rd party manufactures.

A personal Introduction

...

When the Z88 came out everything was new. New computer, new operating system, new programs to write and no internet. There were different computer hardware and operating systems being introduced without any regard on which one would ultimately win. So why write any software for the Z88?

Cambridge Computer started the ball rolling when they released PC Link followed by PC Link II and Mac Link. Unless you are still using DOS or the older Apple Mac there is no need to look at these now with Eazylink2 available as a free download on this wiki. I will be downloading these programs shortly.

Wordmongers were the first 3rd party software company to bite the bullet. Based in Aylesbury which was only a few miles away from where I lived, they started writing software to enable different computers to transfer data between them using the serial port. Tx was their breakthrough. They needed to get involved with many computers and the Z88 was one of them. Using the experience gained from Tx came Xmodem that allowed the Z88 to use a MODEM and hook up via the telephone to Bulletin board system, which were the forerunner to the internet. Other applications followed, games and Thinkz a personal thoughts organizer and a Database spring to mind.
