Published and distributed by Broadcasting Support Services for THE CHIP SHOP, BBC Radio 4 Cover designed by BBC Information Division 1984 Text designed by Adco © N O S nederlandse omroep stichting, Hilversum, Netherland | BASICODE 2 is just like Esperanto for microcomputers. It enables micros of different makes to 'talk' to each other. It is simple to use and has established itself as an international standard which can be used on some of the most popular home micros including: Apple II and IIe BBC Models A and B Commodore 64, Pet and Vic 20 Sharp MZ80 A Sinclair ZX81 Tandy TRS-80 Video Genie BASICODE 2 will allow you to use programs broadcast in the BBC's radio series The Chip Shop and also to exchange programs with owners of these micros. How does it work? The BASICODE 2 kit comprises a handbook and a cassette. On one side of the cassette are the translation programs for the micros listed. The translation program when loaded will 'teach' your micro BASICODE 2. Once it 'knows' BASICODE 2, your micro can translate and use programs written for these other micros. You can also record and use the programs broadcast on Radio 4. On the second side of the cassette is a selection of games and scientific and educational programs to start you off with BASICODE 2.
