- Added a comment log for people to leave stories of their lives with the 2200.
- Added some utilities developed by Martin Eberhard to aid in debugging his Helios system. A small boot loader is used under SOLOS or CUTER to load a program which can read Intel .HEX files. Martin reports making good progress and hopes to have PTDOS running again soon.
- Added a link on the programs page, in the section describing the "Music" program, to an interesting program which renders MUSIC scores as midi files.
- Paolo Binotti provided a scan of his Sol Systems Manual, which contained a number of pages which were missing from was previous online here. I've repackaged everything into one 12 MB pdf, instead of providing each chapter as a separate download.
- Paolo Binotti also contributed a scan of 5K BASIC Manual (Software #2), which Processor Tech sold for generic S-100 systems in 1976, before the Sol came out. They reworked it for use with SOLOS/CUTER based systems, namely the Sol computer, and that manual is BASIC/5 User's Manual.

Gregory R. Perry, PE, was kind enough to scan the source listing for the Processor Tech Focal interpreter. Just when I think all stones have been turned over, someone shows up with another gem. Thanks!

I've known about this little side story for years, but I finally spent an evening digging up the right disks and documenting it. The beloved Sol-20 games TARGET and TREK80 were ported to the TRS-80 and sold by Radio Shack. This section tells the tale.

Bruce Jones has scanned the Software #2 manual, which contains the source code listing for the BASIC/5 interpreter.
The keyboard page now has a disclaimer up front indicating that it is now very hard to find replacement pads to repair the keyboard, but it supplies links to a couple of web pages describing how to make your own.
I did a little weeding of the links on the site, removing broken ones and adding a few new interesting ones.
... anything over a year old is no longer noted ...
