  • Dedicated VZ200/300 Websites

VZ-Alive https://bluebilby.com – this is Jason Oakley’s contribution to the VZ200/300 scene and contains a wealth of material including interviews with developers new and old.

Bushy’s VZ200 Website http://www.vz200.org/bushy/ – hosted at vz200.org, this website compiled by David Maunder contains a large amount of material with a focus on downloads. Of particular interest are the newsletters. (Note: Bushy still has another, older site at 50megs: http://bushy556.50megs.com/vz/index.html)

VZ200/300 Wiki http://wiki.vz200.org – my attempt at completely documenting the VZ200/300 computers. Still a lot of work to do on this one.

The VZ200 http://vz200.tripod.com/ – one of the older sites, this is authored by Ben Pazolli but seemingly untouched since 2007. Of note is the guide to getting software from PC to VZ200.
