A "begging" letter

Do you have any old Memotech hardware?

 - working or not?

Do you know someone who does?

 

PLEASE don't throw it away!

 

Memotech enthusiasts would only be too pleased to take it off your hands and get it back to working condition. If all else fails, it would be a valuable source of spares for these ageing machines, please get in touch if you can help.

Please help me collect data on what Memotech hardware is still out there by completing my :-

MTX User Forum

 

 

 
I am trying to make this site as comprehensive a source of information about the Memotech MTX range as possible. You are welcome to download anything that you find useful.

But please return the favour . . .

There is other Memotech information that I don't have a copy of, including the items below.

If you have a copy of any of these, or anything else I have not posted here, I'd really appreciate a copy.

Wanted: I am currently looking for anything MTX related that I don't already have, but specifically :-

  • Getting Started With the Memotech Mtx by Spencer Bateson : ISBN 10 0946576165, 13 9780946576166
  • Personal Computer World, April 2005, which had an article on Memotech
  • A copy of any MTX Computer software that I don't already have - see the list on my Software Wanted page.
  • And, of course, any hardware that you might want to dispose of   
    • Including broken stuff
    • The big MISSING from my collection is an RS128 - do you have one that you'd part with ??
  • Memotech Owner's Club Magazines, Volume 1, Issues 1, 2 & 3
I would also really like to contact the following people, if your name is below, please get in touch, or if you know one of these folks and they remember the Memotech, can you please ask them to get in touch?

If you have any additional Memotech information that I have not posted on the site, and are willing to share it, please also get in touch.

Andy Key wrote many MTX games for Continental Software and developed the Video Wall software for MCL, he wrote MEMU, the fully featured emulator for Memotech MTX, FDX and SDX systems, as well as developing a range of hardware for the MTX, including the fantastic REMEMOrizer. Andy maintains his own Memotech focused website which hosts a great deal of technical information on the MTX range, with particular focus on firmware and software. I have made a lot of use of this great resource and miss it on the rare occasions that it is not available. The site is very reliable, but to cater for the very few times that it is unavailable, with Andy's permission, I have mirrored his Memotech pages here as a backup to Andy's site - which you should always visit in preference to the mirror

The status of Andy's site shown below is based on a very basic test - it tries to read a file from Andy's site, and if there are problems, the site is flagged as unavailable. This has been shown not to be 100% reliable, so you are probably better always trying the link to Andy's site first.

Andy's Memotech Site currently appears to be :

For content from Andy's site, please always use the direct link first, if it is unavailable, then use the mirror
