L/+HELP1

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.

Another poser for someone.I've had an IDE Hard Drive in my A3010 and have
recently replaced it with an External cased SCSI Hard Drive + CD Rom.This
is a Castle Technology set-up which is advertised frequently in Acorn
User.

  When I formerly used my IDE HD,I had a fair amount of Beeb stuff stored
on it,which I accessed via !65Host (Beeb emulator).The Hard Drive being
Drive 4 (similar to a HD Beeb set-up).

 At the time of purchase Castle happily transferred the contents of my IDE
drive to my new SCSI drive.However when I now go into !65Host it doesn't
recognise the SCSI Hard Drive.I rang Castle's Technical Helpline,only to
be told,quote : "No it probably won't work from the Beeb emulator,without
some rewriting of !65Host,probably.If its any consolation you're the only
person who's ever asked !! "

 Well that wasn't much help,anybody else any ideas ?
