Hi Richard,
Welcome to this discussion group. You will find this group has flourishes of
activity then very long periods of inactivity. This is probably, especially in
my case, because members are heavily involved in their own development projects
for the Einstein computer. Don't let this stop you from making as many posts and
as frequently as you want. Post any queries you have. They will be welcome. If
there is a long period of inactivity don't worry we will still be here. And! I
mean long.
>So I was wondering if there is anyone that can help me out with some
documentation:-
>1) Basic Language Manual
>2) Einstein Memory Map
>3) Firmware (MOS) guide
>4) Programmers reference guide
For your questions 2 & 3.
Mario's excellent Einstein Reborn web site for Einstein resources.

For your question 1
This site might be of help

You could download a trial version of BBC BASIC for Windows and use its help
file. Although intended for the PC most of its commands are compatible with
Bbcbasic for the Einstein.
You can also play with BBC4W itself. Don't be put off by all the clever stuff
that BBC4W can do. You can still type in what I call basic basic as you would
with BBCBASIC for the Einstein. Only difference the output is viewed in a window
instead of the whole screen.
I hope this will get you started. When I think of more I'll post. Any more
queries just ask.
Regards Chris Coxall
