Z80 Minicourse (Side 1) Z80 Minicourse (Side 2) Z80 Minicourse (Top) Z80 Minicourse
By Larry Simioni

Paul Thacker notes, on November 19, "Hmmm...Mike White's software list says the author of the Z-80 Minicourse is Barry Ellerson. And I checked one of the sources given, Arcadian volume 4, issue 7, page 69, and it says this as well. Probably based on the software list, the software page says this too:
http://www.ballyalley.com/program_downloads/300_baud_programs/misc/misc.html
I agree, though, that the signature on the instructions looks like Simioni, and nothing like Ellerson. The first name I am less sure about, though if I were only looking at the signature I would say Larry as well. I suppose it is conceivable that the programs and manual were written by different people.
