Syntax Errors

In issue 102's Microwaves, Stuart Moore's tip for calculating space in the BBC's buffer had a bracket missing. It should have read:

M=&B01:FOR N=0 TO 14:E=0(M?N>=E)*M?N:NEXT:PRINT(255-E)" bytes free"

In our review of the Yamaha MSX computer in issue 100 we accidentally stated that the London Rock Shop was the dealer for the machines. In fact the shop is a retailer and the dealer is Yamaha on 0908-71771.

In our special feature on modems in issue 98 we gave an incorrect telephone number for Miracle Technology. The correct number is 0473-50304. We apologise to everyone concerned.

In Monitor, issue 102, we recklessly described disk drives for the QL as being ten a penny. This is what's known as artistic licence, or to put it another way, not quite true. In fact at that time the only disk units generally available, with the promise of immediate delivery and the option of paying by credit card, were those of CST, sold as the Computamate QDisk.
