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.

Product : ELECTRON MUSIC DISK
Supplier: JON RIPLEY
Available on 3.5"/5.25" Disk (ADFS, CDFS, DFS)
Reviewed by (the) Dave in EUG 50
WHEN comparing an Electron with a BBC, what has to be THE biggest dis-
advantage is the sound quality of the former. Whereas BBC owners can jig
around the room to a tub-thumping bass with background scales and
twiddly bits to make Beethoven proud, Electron owners are lucky to find
anything for their machine that doesn't sound like an amateur piano
player idly tapping the right notes!
This public domain disk is a suite of twenty-seven pieces of such
'music' dating, as its theme tunes indicate, from the late Eighties'
days of FLIPPER and THE DUKES OF HAZARD. No external hardware is needed
to play the pieces and, on booting up, you are presented with a fairly
unimpressive Mode 6 menu screen of nine options inviting you to either
select a piece from those displayed or scroll forwards or backwards
through the three menus with the cursor left and right keys.
The majority of songs derive from musicals. Almost all of those from
"The Sound of Music" are present plus a fair few from "Oklahoma!". Other
sundries include a Phil Collins' ballad and one amusing masterpiece en-
titled Unknown.
Selecting a number causes a brief disk access and a flood of notes
from your beige beauty. None of the recognisable pieces sound 'wrong' -
although THE SOUND OF MUSIC skips two bars - yet once again the screen
display is drab, now only printing the name of the piece at the top of
the screen. When the piece finishes, the cursor appears.
Each piece of music is stored as a separate program and all are fully
LISTable. Doing so to the "!Menu" program yields the surprising result
that the disk was compiled in just 1995! (Perhaps Jon Ripley collated
the pieces from other sources?) But whether Eighties or Nineties, and
whether you LIST them or not, that the sounds result from mere manipula-
tion of the pitch and duration of the BASIC 'SOUND' command shouts at
you as soon as you hear the first of them.
This is not to label this PD disk as bad. It's just that it doesn't
offer anything interesting on which to pass comment. With the Elk's one
channel limitation, expectations are not and will not be high on such
products. But the disk really is the one channel at its MOST basic. The
composer chooses not to experiment with the 'ENVELOPE' command or to
spend any time with a colourful menu system. The best that can be said
is that, as you get a large number of tunes to listen to, the disk de-
livers in a quantitative fashion.
The best tunes for the Electron are not on this disk but scattered
around on some of the classic cassette games. DRAIN MANIA and RUBBLE
TROUBLE (by P. A. Morgan and D. J. Morgan, though oddly released by
different software houses) are cases in point. Empire's PIPEMANIA also
wins high praise, not to mention ONE LAST GAME, which has the novel
feature of using the '*MOTOR' command as a means of having a drum beat
accompaniment.
On these, machine code routines are used to push the machine to its
limits, and the results are marvellous!
Sadly, anyone armed with the Acorn Electron User Guide and the
requisite sheet music could produce a similar ELECTRON MUSIC DISK within
a few hours. Still, it provides a base to build upon.
