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.

*********************************************************************** The PC Problem Tony Boarer 214 Dunraven Drive Derriford Plymouth PL6 6AZ 01752 771276 *********************************************************************** Matters are moving so fast that it is clear that one must jump in at the top - there is serious drawback, and that is the cost of so doing. At least `3000 is required in my estimation. As Gus has already said a system bought now must at least be able to cope for a several years via an ability to absorb improvements in technology. Iwill leave the reader to decide what is meant by "several years". A PC system that would appeal to me would consist of: A fast microprocessor - Pentium Pro (I see that Pentium MHz 150 appears in this week's adverts in Micro Computer Mart - the faster microprocessers should offer some degree of future proofing) 1.6Gb of hard disk storage Windows 95 (Sticking to older software will probably make updating harder or even impossible) 16Mb of RAM (Gus has already touched on this aspect) Quad speed CD ROM (Some software already needs quad speed) A high grade 17" Monitor (This a subject in itself and I have collected a lot of information that I have just not had time to read letalonedigest) Internetcapabilty (Again a 17" monitor makes viewing pages a lot easier - so I am told. A 28000bps modem cuts down telephone bills - is there no end to the expense?) Sound card and speakers (again I have a lot to read) Thoughts aided by articles in the WEEKEND FT and Micro Computer Mart. How fast is fast? To coin a phrase "you ain't seen nothin' yet". In an article in the WEEKEND FT in 1994 it was stated that the first memory chips produced by Intel in the early 1970's contained 1000 digital bits of data on circuits 6.5 microns (millionths of a metre) wide; and now (1994) the most powerful chip 16megabit D-Ram (16Mbit) at 0.5 microns. It was predicted that by 1996 we would have a 64Mbit chip at 0.35 microns (I have not seen a report of progress). In the predictions even this growth of data storage ( and hence access speed) is slow until around the year 2000 at 256Mbit, and 2004 at 1Gbit and 0.18 microns (Gbit = bn bit). This is stated to be the limit for the current technology (optical lithography using ultraviolet light for the circuitry). The 4Gbit chip using X-ray lithography was predicted for 2008 and further generations of Gbits down to 0.04 microns,using specialfeaturestokeeptheelectrons from leaking away; this in the second decade of the 21st. century. The mind boggles! Mind you I will be getting near 90 if I am to see it! So it would seem that there is no good time to jump in, but I suppose sooner the better in view of the accelerating progress. Also I certainly would not buy a second hand PC system for I would require the full initial backup and guarantees.
