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.

PIC 16C84 Programmer V1.1 - Using Maplin's hardware Copyright Mike Cook 1997 - Musbury Consultants - all rights reserved 01706 216701 5 Helmshore Rd, Haslingden, Rossendale, Lancs. BB4 4BG The PIC16C84 is a programmable micro controller. This application takes an object code file and programs the chip. The PIC blower was featured in The Maplin Magazine 'Electronics' September 1996. Choose the action you want to perform from:- Read, Verify, Blow, Erase. Click on the bottom right hand button to preform the task. To Blow or Verify a chip you need first to have draged a HEX file into the window. The data in the HEX file is treated in the following way:- Addresses 0 to &3FF - Program instructions Addresses &2000 to &2003 - ID bytes Address &2007 - Configuration fuse Addresses &2100 to &213F - Data Memory These addresses are also used when a PIC is read and its contents saved as a file. Addresses outside this range will be wraped round. Saving as a file dumps the whole of the address space, even blanks. Notes 1) The configuration options are taken from the window icons. 2) You only need to perform an erase when blowing a chip that has the code protection set. Otherwise the programming writes over the old data. 3) Once the code protection is set any reads to the chip produce rubbish. However, it is repeatable rubbish so you can use the information for verification. 4) If after reading a PIC the code protection icon (CP) is ticked then the resulting data should only be used for verifying code protected PICs. 5) The blower accepts assembled code in HEX DATA file, in the 16 Bit WORD format and Intel Byte order, with a file type &084. If the 'Load' menu option is active then the memory is wiped before the file is read in. Otherwise the file overwrites what is already in the memory thus allowing you to merge two data sets if the files contain different areas of memory. 6) Verify does not check the ID bytes or configuration fuse. Legal stuff. I do not accept responsibility for anything:- Bosnia, Northern Ireland, the Middle East or anything this program may or may not do.
