L/Boarer1

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.

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.
