Input Magazine
The Input Magazine was a partwork published by Marshall Cavendish during 1984 and 1985.
It was composed of 52 weekly editions which introduced several parallel themes (such as computer graphics, word processing, CAD, games etc) in each edition. These themes then were slowly developed with each new edition into BASIC programs. The resulting programs worked in a number of computer architectures such as Apple, Sinclair, Dragon 32, MSX, Acorn Electron and BBC Microcomputer which were common at the time of publication.
The magazine was very famous among hobbyists using these early computer architectures, since it provided a useful source of interesting programs in a wide range of themes.
An interesting detail of the publication is that the programs were printed in the editions, and readers had to copy them manually into their computers.
Sections
Each magazine had various colour coded sections which denoted the main subject of the article. These were divided into sections such as Machine Code, BASIC Programming and Peripherals.
