Thanks to Acorn Publishing and Qercus for giving 8BS permission to use Acorn User things here.
Thanks to the contributors for scanning the magazines for us. If anyone wishes to help out by scanning more, I will be happy to place them on the 8BS website. Preferably in PDF format but plain scans will do. Currently uicr0Bee is scanning for us, please contact me before starting any yourself. Here is a neat stand alone PDF reader
Thanks to Paul Collins (eBay
MarillionUK), Richard Hall, and Stephan Richardson for the cover scans.
Thanks to uicr0Bee (Poland) for the full magazine scans.
All full magazine scans are by uicr0Bee from Poland apart from October 1984 (HTML link at bottom of this page) which is by Steve Fewell.
July 1982 (Number 1) is linked to a download from here. I have tried and failed contacting the webmaster there to get permission to host the file on the 8BS website.
Dave Edwards provides his own scans on DVD here
There is a numbering problem with issue March 1985. The magazine states it is number 31 on the spine but it is number 32.
