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.

FURTHER NOTES ON THE PRES E00 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In my review of this, I mentioned that it can get corrupted in the ABR as apparently the ABR cannot be locked when this is loaded into it. If it gets badly corrupted, it can cause the ADFS to fail to operate and it is then necessary to remove it and re-load it. However, I have found that it can seem to be all right and yet give sometimes give false error reports. This seems to be due to a slight corruption as re-loading it corrects this. Some of these may be of little importance but, on two occasions, I have found that I could have had more serious trouble. First, the disc fault given was - Disc fault 48 at 0:000002 and the disc would not MOUNT. This usually necssitates the the disc being re-formatted but I thought I had not written to the disc and fortunately checked it without the ABR and found to be all right. After re-loading the E00, the disc then MOUNTed correctly. I was transferring some programs, later on, using AACOPY when, after two had been transferred, the rest were skipped, the program repeatedly asking for the target directory. On checking the disc, I got the above report, evem when the ABR was removed, so the disc had to be re-formatted. I tried again with the same result. After re-formatting again, I tried without the ABR and transferred without trouble. So I re-loaded the ABR and found that cured the problem. Luckily, I had been transferring to a new disc as it could have been more serious if it had been a disc with more programs on it. Inspite of these occasional mishaps, I find it very useful and have it in ABR all the time. Richard Dimond **************************************************************************
