This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
I have received a disc which my drive cannot read. Unfortunately it slipped out of the envelope in which it was sent and I don't know who sent it. It is a blcak HD disc. It has a yellow and white label with the words ADFS. FILE W/P SLOGGER STARWORD. If you sent this disc could you contact me. I will return it to you to be redone or replaced with a DD disc. My front room which is my office has becomming more and more clutterd lately so I decided to redecorate and install some shelves. It turned out to be a lot more comolicated and expensive than I had hoped. I have now got it done. The biggest advantage is that I have replaced two buckshee bookshelves with a wall of shelves. I am still sorting everything out and trying to find stuff but it's working out well. Funnily enough there still doesn't seem to be quite enough space. Does anyone have any information about Econet. I must confess I don't know very much except that it was a means for Acorn machines to be connected together and to talk with each other. Perhaps some member has some experience with Econet, perhaps even some software. Gus 01705 781168
