From the introduction: "Bio One was created in 1974 to incorporate a degree of realism into a field of wargaming which was sorely lacking. Bio One provides a complete and accurate system of damage location and effects for any gunpowder period of warfare. Bio One will prove an interesting addition to any set of man-to-man rules which uses gun fire. Bio One may at first appear confusing, but by simply following the step-by-step procedure and trying a few sample applications, the system will be mastered in no time at all."

The first printing with a $2.00 cover price - later catalog listings show the price at $2.50 (such as Boot Hill 2nd print and other Bio One prints). The products list includes The Character Archaic, etc.
Considering this list, the printing seems to date around 1975.
