Kilobaud Microcomputing was originally conceived as KiloByte Microcomputing but that name went unused as the publishers didn't feel like advertising their goals. The Kilobaud prefix was eventually removed as well and Microcomputing lived on.

Microcomputing was a typical general purpose Personal Computer magazine like Byte and Creative Computing. It offered product reviews, technical information and the occasional program listing for the reader to type in.

Looking for an article/program on Fox and Hounds game to be found in Kilobaud Microcomputing vol 2, issue 9, 21 Sep 1978, Page 62-. All help appreciated as I am looking to reconstruct the code as a training game

The original name for the magazine was supposed to be Kilobyte Microcomputing because the founder, Wayne Green, lost control of Byte Magazine (which he also founded) in an acrimonious divorce settlement with his wife. He wanted to convey the impression that his new magazine would kill Byte magazine.

I came accross my old copy of kilobaud issue #6 tonight and after looking through it searched the web for sites pertaining to kilobaud magazine. Found this page. Cool magazine. It was my favorite at the time. Byte was very good too.

I have a complete set of the early Kilobaud magazines. Also I have one of the first TRS- 80s. Uses a tape player for storage. It still works. Original monitor included. Would you be interested?
