I'm confused. I thought they were the same.
What do you mean by Beehive? If this is related to the Beehive section of
the Walnut Creek CDRom, then I see the file \beehive\text\member.txt has an
Australian address in it.

"Australian" Microbees are quite common here (because I'm in Sydney !) but
not in going condition. The consoles are easy but the power supply, disk
drives and software are difficult, probably because many were in schools
where they were networked. All I've seen were CP/M. I've never seen one with
basic but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
