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.

LETTER 8 10th.August,1995 Tony Boarer 214 Dunraven Drive Derriford Plymouth PL6 6AZ 01752 771276 Dear Gus, So sorry to have missed issue 20 of EUG; maybe this letter will be too late for EUG21. I have been rather knocked off course of late and have a lot of catching up to do on the computer front. Many thanks for your comments in EUG19 and after absorbing all advice on cleaning, etc, and applying same, I still have to come to the conclusion that the source of a lot of my troubles is with the lack of good electrical contact from the fingers of the SLOGGER interface. So I have taken out one Electron from my total system and replaced it with another BBC to which I have transferred all of my financial databank. This BBC is a 128K with an Integra-B board - but enough of this as we are an Electron Group. In the last letter I mentioned another RGB switch and a switchable connector at the monitor. However, Derek Walker has come up with a better solution and has made me a four-way switch box so that I can have four computers live and switch to the one monitor. In my situation now this will be two Electrons and two BBC's. Derek's solution cuts down the amount of wiring needed. The other Electron is now fitted with PLUS3 single sided 31/2" disk drive and then a PLUS1. I also have a mouse outfit for this set-up but have not tried to run it yet. I intend to fit a single 51/4" disk drive to this arrangement when I have time to find out how it is done, and have both DFS and ADFS. I am having a lot of trouble with your turnover disks. Sometimes they come up with "file not found" on all files; sometimes some files will LOAD and others not; sometimes "bad DIR at line whatever"; sometimes I can READ files that won't LOAD into *WORD and sometimes I cannot. If nobody else is getting such problems then perhaps I have a hardware problem of some kind. I will try to find time to go through all the disks from the turnover start and write on this specific point for as you say there no point in not having the full EUG set of disk files. Best wishes for now, Tony EUG IS OF COURSE THE ELECTRON USER GROUP BUT EUG HAS A NUMBER OF MEMBERS USING BEEB'S AND MASTERS MAINLY BECAUSE IT IS SO GOOD. SO FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS BEEB'S OR INDEED ANYTHING ELSE. THIS IS AFTER ALL A FORUM FOR ANYTHING WHICH IS OF INTEREST TO MEMBERS. SO, YOU AND DEREK HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING AN RGB SWITCH, HOW ABOUT SHARING IT WITH THE REST OF US. ALSO TELL US A BIT ABOUT HOW AND WHY. THIS SOUNDS QUITE INTERESTING. YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE FLIPPYS. THESE ARE SENT TO MEMBERS USING 5.25" DISCS BECAUSE I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW WHO HAS A DOUBLE SIDED DRIVE AND WHO DOESN'T SO I ASSUNE EVERYONE HAS A SNGLE AND SEND FLIPPYS. THIS CUTS DOWN ON THE NUMBER OF DISCS NEEDED ESPECIALLY FOR DFS USERS AND SO SAVES A LOT OF EUG'S FUNDS. IF YOU ARE HAVING A PROBLEM AND IT IS WITH EVERY FLIPPY THEN IT MAY BE YOUR DRIVE. IF IT IS ONLY ON ONE DISC THEN SEND THE DISC BACK. I SHOULD SAY AT THIS TIME THAT I TOOK ADVICE FROM A DISC DRIVE SERVICE ENGENEER BEFORE STARTING TO USE FLIPPYS AND WAS ASSURED THAT NO HARM WILL COME TO YOUR DRIVES AT ALL. THE IDEA THAT SOME DIRT COULD BE WIPED FROM THE DISC INTO THE DRIVE IS APPARENTLY AN EXAGERATION BECAUSE THE AMMOUNT OF DIRT NEEDED TO DAMAGE A DRIVE WOULD MAKE THE DISC UNUSABLE BEFORE YOU EVEN PUT IT INTO THE DRIVE. ALSO MOST OF THE DIRT IN THE AVERAGE DRIVE, AND THERE IS ALOT, I'VE SEEN IT IN PERFECTLY WORKING DRIVES, COMES FROM THE VENTILATION HOLES ON THE DRIVE ITSELF. I SHOULD ALSOPOINT OUT THAT MY 5.25" DRIVE HAS PRODUCES ALMOST EVERY FLIPPY DISC FROM EUG WITH NO PROBLEMS. BEST WISHES REGARDING THE NOTE YOU SENT.
