PROGS/ROMTXT1
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.

ROMs or RAMs
************
By Derek Walker
I have never considered myself a programmer, simply because I very seldom
write programs, I generally modify other peoples to suit my needs, such as,
the Data link program (EDL) and Ground Controls UVIPROM EPROM programmer.
The last couple of programs, ERLOAD and ERSAVE which appeared in issue 14,
were my first serious attempts at programming and since I've had no adverse
feedback from the group I will take it that the utilities have been
successful and bug free. I would now like to present another utility, a
*ROMS command which will list the ROMs in your machine. To use the program
CHAIN"DWROMS", this will do three things:
1) Assemble the program
2) RUN the program
3) SAVE a file to your disc called DROMS
You may wish to transfer the file "DWROMS" to another disc before you run it
and rename the compiled file from DROMS to ROMS.
When the program is complete you should have a on your screen a list of all
ROMs and RAM in your computer. It should look like this but with entries for
your computer:
>*DROMS
0) < S > CLICK
1) < S > CLICK
2) < S > DFS V2.00
3) < SL> ViewSpell
4) < SL> VIEW
5) <R >
6) < S > UVIPROM V1E1
7) <R >
8) < >
9) < >
A) < S > Stop Press 64 v1.01
B) < L> BASIC
C) < S > Plus 1 Expansion
D) < SL> Mode 7 Sim v1.4
E) < SL> AFM v1.09
F) < S > ADFS V1.00
>_
R indicates a RAM device is present
S indicates the ROM has a Service entry point
L indicates the ROM has a Language entry point
Whenever you wish to know what's in your machine just type *DROMS, ADFS users
can put the file into their LIBRARY on the Welcome Disc for easy access.
