The issue opens with an overview of the newspaper's new shell, interface, and hotkeys, alongside schedules for local BBS stations from the nineties. The technical section provides a detailed guide on installing the BZ128 controller for the Byte computer, including schematics for sound coprocessor and memory expansion. Programmers will find ready-to-use Z80 assembly routines, featuring a fast circle-drawing procedure, an accelerated decruncher for Data-Squeezer, and code for handling TR-DOS disk errors. The literary segment features a novella inspired by the classic adventure game La Abadía del Crimen, an overview of Amiga demoscene roles, and a continuation of a humorous story about Winnie-the-Pooh.
