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,


Many thanks for the latest EUG disc which has 
spawned this little missive.   I notice some discussion on disc drive 
power supplies and as I have been involved in making up some fairly 
recently I thought I'd throw my two-pennyworth in for members interest.

I have over the last year fitted out a few kids 
(mainly family relations) with a mixture of second-hand Beebs & Elks in 
order that their Mums can do a bit of pre-school and nursery education 
with them.   This entailed using 5.25", 40/80T drives, again 
second-hand types obtained from scouring the pages of Micro Mart.   To 
keep everything as flexible as possible I endeavoured to make all the 
drives usable on both the Beebs own 6-pin power socket and the made-up 
power supplies if used with the Elks.   

Rather than potch about making my own PSU I 
bought an SMPSU from Greenweld for `3.95  and bunged it into a Maplin 
case bought for `3.19.   Most of the other bits and pieces came out of 
the junk box, so a fairly good spec supply resulted for less than a 
tenner.   Obviously a bit of drilling and filing was needed on the 
case, but each PSU only took about an hour to assemble.  One added 
bonus is that these supplies have a 120/240V tap.

For those interested I list below the relevant 
details:-

1 x Astec SMPSU SO15-3UO 12v 2A, 5V 2A, -12V 0.3A, Cat. No. Z5958 
`3.95 from Greenweld Electronic Components, 27, Park Rd.,
Southampton. SO15 3UO

1 x Alu Case 152 x 114 x 76  Type AB31, Cat. No. XB69A
`3.19 from Maplin.

For those wishing to make a really pro. job 
a 12V miniture fan can also be purchased from Greenweld (Cat No. Z3855) 
and run off the -12V supply.  These will raise the outlay another `3 
though and would require some additional drilling of the case to make 
some kind of grill.

The Beeb DD power sockets are now causing some 
difficulty in procuring and, although I have found some suppliers, the 
prices have been sky-high.  As I was making up a batch of these PSUs I 
found it worth while ordering half-a-dozen of both the male and female 
types from Farnel Electronics Components.   The appropriate crimp 
connectors have to be ordered separately.   Farnel are reputed to deal 
with the Trade only, but I have not had any problems, if a large enough 
order is made on them.   The details are as follows:-

Crimp Power Connector 6-way (BBC) Plug Pt. No. 148-081 - 0.221p each
Crimp Power Connector 6-way (BBC) Skt  Pt. No. 148-082 - 0.215p each
Contact Pins for Crimp Connector (10-pack) No. 149-086 - 0.745p p.p
Contact skts for Crimp Connector (10-pack) No. 149-088 - 0.719p p.p
(plus VAT on these prices)
from Farnel Electronic Components Ltd. Canal Rd., Leeds, LS12 2TU

As Greenweld deal mainly in surplus etc. stuff 
it is advisable to check their stock before ordering (Tel. 01703 
236363 - Fax 236307).  Also, I have found in the past, that their 
bargain lists include some useful Acorn items.  Like most firms their 
appreciation of the Acorn market is nil and thus their prices on Acorn 
surplus goods tend to be almost at the give-away level.  Elk PSUs for 
`3, Arc mice `4,  40T DD `5 are some of the examples I have purchased 
over the years.

I trust this will be of interest to EUG members 
and worth a little slot in the next issue.

Cheers,

(D.E. WILLIAMS)

PS. I still do these items using Pipedream and use its VIEW save 
utility - Does this cause you any problems.
