~Q~~~BI~~BI~~B§!~ ~B§rllby George Coade

Tired of goung froM Mbasic to BHBasic and forgetting whether you"LOAD" or "OLD"? You can't change thewOl'ds in Mbasic but it is EASY tochange the words' in BH Bas ic to Matchthe cOMpetition. Using DUMP you findthe BH words in the 20th and 21strecord (Note: I not sure what GeorgeMeans by record and believe BH basiccan be anywhere on your DISK, he isreferring to the distribution disk Ithink? ED) frOM the start. The bytejust before each word controls whataction Basic takes so don't changethose bytes. Always work on a sparedisk in case things get a bit Messedup. It took Me two tries before I ~otthe ~ords just the way I wanted theM(the first try bOMbed beautifully whenI ran it and HDDS was DESTROYED too).

I Changed the following Uords:Build , Bye, Old, and Scratch. TheybecaMe Auto, SysteM, Load, and New.Since the new words are one letterless than the old (Total letters. ED)I also changed Cntrl to Control tofill the extra space. The word isused so seldOM in prograMs that a fewtyped strokes will fix any failingprograM.

TiMe?.. about 20 Minutes evenwith the one Mistake. Yell worth itto not have to reMeMber which BasicI'M using.

Uell I'aM back frOM fishin9 inIllinois - Does anyone care!!! I hopeeveryone enjoyed My article last Month,if you have any COMMents let Me know,with that here goes again.

If anyone has any HDDS COMMands thatthey know about that are not dOCUMentedby Heath please let 'Me know as I wouldlike to Make up a list of all the ones Ican get hold of and publish theM in thenewsletter so that our MeMbers canbenefit frOM theM. Who knows it May evengenerate SOMe new ones when people startfooling around with theM.

I decided that this Month that Iwould tell you a little bit about Myselffor those who don/t know Me. I'aMpresently in the U.S. NAVY and have beentinkering around with electronics since Iwas eight years old. But I'aM stillworking hard to keep up with thcistate-of-the-art, especially in theDigital and COMputer fields.

I also happen to be an AMateur RadioOperator and hold an aMateur extra classlicense. So if anyone would likeinforMation or help in beCOMing a HAM Iwill gladly help theM out. If we haveany HAMS in our MeMbership I'aMinterested in getting together with theMand discussing any ideas they have forusing our COMputers for that purposealso.

)Maybe ~e can swap prograMS andcircuits and really get SOMe thingsgoing to help Make our radio hobbyMore fun. Between COMputers and radioequipMent we Mayall 90 broke byvirtue of our hobbies.

Two and a half Months after Iordered the Stretch-8 kit, I receivedit. Twelve working hours later ( theManufacturer claiMS it should takesix ) I had it asseMbled.

The kit extends the length of theH-8 to about 30 inches, addlng eight(8) new card slots and doubling the -,output of the power supply. The sidesare replaced by hardwood (They lookbe"~ter than the black sides that Hf!athprovides. ) and the top and bottOM areextended with black Metal panels.

The kit caMe with all of thenecessary part ( plus one or t~o thatI never found a use 1'01'). 'The I

Instructions were just barely adequate( Not nearly up to Heath standards ).

The price of the kit was $180 atthe tiMe that I bought it. Since tha~tiMe the price has increased to $200.

If you have usedavailable slots in yourwish to replace your 8Kthis kit Might be theyou.
