8-Bit Software PD Catalogue

OK. The large catalogue is back!
There were a lot of requests for its return.
I have written a script that simply cobbles together all the separate parts of the catalogue:
All in one catalogue

TBI	The main section built up by myself. Stands for [T]oo [B]ig for [I]ssue!

Catalogue format:

Each entry in the catalogue follows this format:

Catalogue code. For example TBI-23
Disc title.
Size, format and compatibility codes 1,2,3 etc (number of DFS sides OR number of ADFS Discs)

D-DFS

A-ADFS

H-HADFS

B-BBC B only

M-Master/Compact only

HD-High Density

So
1DA represents a disc available as single sided DFS or ADFS L disc
2DA represents a disc available as one double sided DFS disc or 1 ADFS L disc
2A represents a disc only available as ADFS. The preceding number 2 indicates that 2 discs are required.

Files used. Kbytes used. Size of DOS zip file if appropriate
Detailed description of disc.

Free Downloads:

Yes! Most of the software in this catalogue is downloadable and free. Please show your appreciation by email or signing the guest book.

For more information about the downloads, please see 'Downloads'

Buying The Software on Floppy Disc or CD:

If you wish to submit PD software that is not in this catalogue for 8BS to put in its pool, you may make a free choice from the catalogue, but please send return postage.

TBI-00 is free but you must send a disc and return p+p. Please remember that TBI-00 is no longer updated, the web based catalogue is now the main catalogue.

The software in this catalogue is free. The charges made cover the cost of disc, postage, packing and all the other incidental costs of copying discs. You are free to copy the software and pass it on to friends. Be sure to tell them where you got it! I make one exception to this and ask that you do not copy the compact discs available in the CDR section.

You may find that some programs can be found on more than one disc in this catalogue. However there are no two discs the same.

Master Compact users. You CAN use the DFS discs in this catalogue! If you don't know how, ask for advice when placing your software order.

You may have any of the many ROM images in this catalogue supplied on eprom. The charge is 4 pounds extra. Just tell me which image from which disc you require.

Charges:
1 Pound Sterling per physical 80 track 5.25" or 3.5" disc (state the size of disc you require).
Programmed EPROM's 4 Pounds Sterling each.
