Fervour/!SerialJoy/SerialJoy/!ReadMe/ReadMe
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 SerialPort / Vertical Twist / Leading edge interface owner,
If you have version 2.00 or later of the interface then it will work
with Fervour without any problems. Simply load the module supplied on
the interface disc.
If you have a version before version 2.00 then you will need to run
the module 'SerialFix' found in this directory. After this you will
need to load the joystick module supplied with the interface and set
it up so that the keys it uses are the ones used in the game.
Default: Z - Left
X - Right
' - Speed up
/ - Slow down
Return - Jump
You may then use your interface but note you must play fervour in the
keyboard mode as versions of the software less than 2.00 emulate the
keyboard and do not supply routines to read the joystick. You could
always upgrade to the latest verion by getting in touch with The
Leading Edge. 00000000 44 65 61 72 20 53 65 72 69 61 6c 50 6f 72 74 20 |Dear SerialPort | 00000010 2f 20 56 65 72 74 69 63 61 6c 20 54 77 69 73 74 |/ Vertical Twist| 00000020 20 2f 20 4c 65 61 64 69 6e 67 20 65 64 67 65 20 | / Leading edge | 00000030 69 6e 74 65 72 66 61 63 65 20 6f 77 6e 65 72 2c |interface owner,| 00000040 0a 0a 49 66 20 79 6f 75 20 68 61 76 65 20 76 65 |..If you have ve| 00000050 72 73 69 6f 6e 20 32 2e 30 30 20 6f 72 20 6c 61 |rsion 2.00 or la| 00000060 74 65 72 20 6f 66 20 74 68 65 20 69 6e 74 65 72 |ter of the inter| 00000070 66 61 63 65 20 74 68 65 6e 20 69 74 20 77 69 6c |face then it wil| 00000080 6c 20 77 6f 72 6b 0a 77 69 74 68 20 46 65 72 76 |l work.with Ferv| 00000090 6f 75 72 20 77 69 74 68 6f 75 74 20 61 6e 79 20 |our without any | 000000a0 70 72 6f 62 6c 65 6d 73 2e 20 53 69 6d 70 6c 79 |problems.
