Z88 EPROM Magazines

Introduction

It all started in 1987. Roy Woodward published the first edition of Z88 EPROM - the magazine of the Z88 Users' Club. The Club produced 41 issues of Z88 EPROM in 6 volumes ending with Volume 6 No. 6 in 1993 before it went defunct. The Club was several thousand members strong from all over the world.

Those people who never discovered the Z88 Users' Club will never see the fantastic content of these newsletter magazines. Keith Rickard has scanned in all of those issues and added them here.

The content of these magazines is copyrighted with the Z88 Users' Club. We have not been in contact with Roy Woodward to confirm that it is acceptable to publish them.

Our wish is to preserve the legacy of Z88 Users' club; these magazines are an important part of the Z88's history and should be shared with all who still have a place for the Z88. That is what we're sure that the contributors to the Z88 EPROM believe.
