Magazine dates - help required

Hello, all..

My attempts to record the month/year of each magazine page continues :)

Another one I've hit a brick wall with is Microdrive Exchange.
https://wos.meulie.net/pub/sinclair/magazines/MicrodriveExchange/

The issues don't have any mention of month, but some of them have Copyright 1984/1985/1986.
Does anyone happen to know if this was published monthly or bi-monthly?

Looking at the copyright page on the second last/last page, it shows:

01 = 1984
02 = Unlisted (but it's obviously 1984)
03 = 1984
04 = 1984
05 = Unlisted (but it's obviously 1984)
06 = Unlisted (but it's obviously 1984)
07 = 1984
08 = 1984
09 = 1984
10 = Unlisted (Could be 84, could be 85)

11 = 1985
12 = 1985
13 = 1985
14 = 1985
15 = 1985
16 = 1985

17 = 1986
18 = 1986
19 = 1986
20 = 1986
21 = 1986
22 = 1986
23 = 1986
24 = 1986

There are only 6 issues for 1985, which makes me think bi-monthly. However, 84 and 86 have more than 6 - which kind of scuppers that theory.

Does anyone have any information about this publication?

There's a bunch of classified advert links for Microdrive Exchange from SPEX on WoS, running from Apr-Sep'84, then there's a 9-month gap, then a few more adverts from Jun-Sep'85, mostly in Pop.Com.Weekly.

And now for the next plea: RetroWiki,

http://www.retrowiki.es/rw10/page.php?3

Has all of the magazines, but I can't find a note of when each issue was published..

Does anyone know?

The copies on archive.org seem to have publication dates listed.

I did try and post a link, but it's playing up on my phone.

I wasn't sure if those referred to when they were published, or when they were uploaded (published) to archive.org.

The information might be buried in their (RetroWiki's) forum, but I'm afraid I only read/speak English (barely, sometimes. Ed).
