I'm in the process of restoring a Digital Research / Ferguson "Big Board".
I built a bunch of them back in the 80's, and it will be nice to have one up
and running again.
I was wondering if anyone had copies of the support magazine - Micro
Cornucopia, or any of the Big Board User Group disks? I have the first four
issues of MicroCornucopia here and will scan them to PDF's when I get a
chance. I'd like to eventually scan the full set if possible.
Many thanks!

I've got a bunch of the MicroC's--but I'll have to inventory them to see
exactly what I've got.
Cheers,
Chuck

Okay, Nos. 21 and 37 through 53 (the last issue).

Has someone already scanned or is someone willing to scan the
various BB related articles and post them?

In the middle of the small stack of Micro C's, I found a Kilobaud #1 that
I'd forgotten I even had. Is it worth anything in the used-magazine
market?
I remember subscribing to MicroC sometime after Microsystems ceased
publication. Before that, I didn't even know it existed.

I have pretty much of a full set of Micro-Cornucopia, but they're in storage
and not accessible to me until I get those folks paid off...
Speaking of BigBoards, do any of you guys know of any online resources for
the Bigboard II? I have one of those that I built, and it's a rather nifty
board for what it is...
I made the mistake of not getting the software with it when I got it, and by
the time I was ready to pursue that the company selling them had folded. :-(
