The one really good one I have is from this era (November, 1982).
BTW, for the person that was interested in the Victor 9000, there's a
review of that machine in the above-mentioned issue, and an interview with
Chuck Peddle.

BTW, is it possible to purchase complete collections of BYTE magazine on
Microfiche, etc? And for what kind of frightening sum? I'm afraid I
don't have a collection of those... only a single magazine from 1982, then
my next issue features the Amiga 3000. :/
Maybe. But be wary of getting a complete collection though. While I
haven't read a Byte magazine in several years, (since the early 90s), those
that I have seen I tend to group into three catagories:
1. Hobby Era (start of publication to late 83/early 84) 2. Journal Era (early 84 to late 87/early 88)
This might also be interesting, but not terribly useful for my purposes.
I don't think I'd bother with this era.

3. PC Rag Era (early 88 through the 90s)
Yuck.

My own collection of Byte starts with August of 85
(Amiga 1000 is the
cover story) and ends somewhere in late 89 or early 90.
Who do I have to kill for a copy of that issue? ;)
