A new Z88 user group magazine is being Launched next month.

Here is a number of new z88 related links, including a new Z88 YouTube channel, and other socials.

https://allmylinks.com/z88eprom

The aim is to promote this wonderful machine - Clive's final computer, shine a spotlight on over 30 years of development since the final issue of the magazine in the 90s.
There are new games, new software tools, new operating system and new hardware mods to update on.

As well as a look back from developers on what makes this machine special in their eyes.

The magazine, and YouTube channel that supports it can cover any topic, so please get in touch with me about what you'd like to see in the future.

We have a public chat room of all things Z88 on @cambridgez88 (https://t.me/cambridgez88). If you need help with your Z88, want to know latest news and development, this is the place to be.

All notifications of changes in our project is relayed to this chatroom. You will be able to monitor any progress we do.

Oh, due to the fact that I got my first Sinclair QL I would like to see how I can interact with my Z88, i.e. is there any special software for the QL and the like...

How do I get write permissions, or at least commenting permissions, on Jira? The documentation wiki is in atrocious condition, and I would like to fix it.
Dead links, bad image URLs, outdated and incomplete information, and in some places writing that’s just plain difficult to parse.
