Introduction

Diskmagazine created by the BCF team and released in May 1991. It's a compilation of the Disk Station diskmagazines 1 to 3.

It was provided for free to the disk subscribers of MSX Club Magazine 35.

This edition has support for PSG, MSX-MUSIC and MSX-AUDIO.

Many parts use screen 5 and a RAM version of the runtime compiler X-BASIC (file BCFE.001 with CALL SPEED IN and CALL SPEED OUT as replacements for CALL TURBO ON and CALL TURBO OFF).

We stay in screen 5 for the second episode of the adventures of Snout the elephant, the BCF mascot. It has problems with termites, a sinusoidal apple and his MSX4 computer. The repairer disappears inside the machine and Snout decides to destroy some Amiga computers. This demo has been created by Sander Strootman.
