Amstrad Notepad Users' Web

Please visit Mark's homepage.

This is unmaintained! Tim has most of my material and is gradually putting it onto his site!

Welcome to the best site for the Amstrad Notepad machines (when I last looked, at least). I aim to collect together here as many useful articles, utilities and links to other sites as possible. If you have anything at all to contribute (Hints, questions, answers to questions in these pages, corrections), please contact me by Email or normal mail to M J Ray, MTH, UEA, GB-NR4 7TJ. All contributions acknowledged!

Availability: I don't know of anywhere selling Notepads. If you do, please let me know! You'll probably have to check your local second-hand adverts...

Notes: This site is unmaintained and is likely to stay that way for the forseeable future. Critical fixes and some link adjustments still take place, but I no longer have an NC, so you'd be better off looking at the FAQ and asking in the newsgroup (see below).

Local Documents

• Picture
• Technical Specifications
• My copy of the comp.sys.amstrad.8bit FAQ (Notepads in section 12)
• Hints & Tips
• Files for download from this site - Contributions welcomed. (Last addition: Notepad WP to PC RTF file converter)

Other Notepad webs and files

• Böhling's NC100 Page - has a surgical guide to the NC100: essential when you pour coffee over one!
• Amstrad's own WWW site
• NVG's NC100 FTP site - last time I looked there was just a copy of CP/M and some technical docs there. There are mirrors in Chemnitz and Hamburg.
• PenPad Resource.

BBC BASIC

• Join the BBC computer mailing list
• BBC-list archive FTP site
• BBC files at Cambridge University
• BBC files in Moscow - very dodgy link.

Usenet Newsgroups

• Amstrad 8bit - which mentions us in its charter and FAQ.
• Acorn Misc - where BBC Basic programming queries seem to crop up most often.
• Usenet Digest - also rumoured to be on ftp.sidewinder.com, but I haven't yet succeeded in connecting to it.
