Owners of ITL Byte Drive 500s need not despair, even though ITL has gone out of business (issue 104). Roland Beaumont (0634-713437) is taking over the back-up and maintenance of the machines.

As he is only doing the job part time, anyone with enquiries should phone him between 7 and 9pm.

Owners who sent their machines to ITL for repair should have them back by now. John Melville, the ex-managing director, told PCN, everyone has either had their money back or their machines.

If you haven't, a receiver, Morris Dorrington (01-253 3266) has been appointed.
