Interface Age

The magazine started as the newsletter of the Southern California Computer Society, SCCS Interface, which was first published in December 1975.

Its publisher, Robert S. Jones, offered to turn it into a professionally produced magazine and established an agreement with the SCCS in which the SCCS would provide a substantial part of the content of the magazine, while Jones would bear the costs of publishing and marketing, with the SCCS sharing in the profits.

Jones ended all connection with the SCCS, and the magazine became simply Interface Age.

Like many early personal computer magazines, Interface Age often contained type-in programs written in BASIC that could be used on most platforms of the era.

It was perhaps best known for its use of "Floppy ROM"s, very thin vinyl record, known as "sound sheets" containing programs encoded in the Kansas City standard format.
