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.

I got a bonus from where I am working just now and blew the lot on some CDs which I have wanted for some time now. The second and third Roxy Music albums, I already had the first and fourth, two by Bjork, Debut and Post and the Beatles Anathology 3. I'm a diehard Beatles fan and had to get the Anathologies, they aren't too bad, Roxy Music is so exciting and different and Bjork, especially Debut is so interesting, she seems to have found something really quite new and unique. I say all this because most of the time that I have been preparing this EUG I have been listening to one of these CDs. I'm afraid that no matter how hard I tried records just seem to end up with clicks and jumps for me. I use to record them as soon as I bought them but CDs take away that problem. I now have everything the Beatles made so I can drift back to a time when my life had different complications. Not always happier, I never really thought that childhood was the happiest time of life. But just drifting back to when the ultimate technology was a stereo record player with speakers attached by bits of wire or a new smaller transistor radio. Space walks, strong views and opinions on every subject, BBC 2 TV sets, old friends, making a fool of myself and that old chestnut, how do you talk to girls? There was a report in the news papers recently about a French team who had apparently developed a superconductor which worked a 25c. For those who don't really understand the significance of this let me explain. The wire connecting your table lamp to the mains is a lot thinner that the wire connecting your electric kettle. The reason is that the kettle uses about 40 times as much current. Current is if you like the substance of electricity. The cable is of course a conductor. Now all conductors have a certain ammount of resistance which restricts the ammount of current which can travel along it. A thin cable like on the lamp will have less conducting surface so if you try to connect it to a kettle the current which is being restricted by the cable's resistance will be turned into heat and the cable will melt. Now that is a simple but effective explaination of a conductor. A super conductor has very little resistance so it can carry huge ammounts of current without ever heating up. Using super conductors you could power your whole house on a cable perhaps a thin as hair depending how good the super conductor is. That's the theory anyway. Now it is highly unlikely that a super conductor will be used for domestic electricity supplies. But it will certainly be used in computers. Then you would have a computer where the only power consumption was from the individual components, perfect signal paths and an increase in speed and power. Super conductors are something of an alchemist's dream though and more that one person who I have spoken to who is connected with this area of technology reckons it will remain just that for the forseeable future any way. Now it seems that this report was a bit premature. Apparently a French scientist was casually mentioning to someone that he was going to experiment with some compounds, the conversation was over heard by a journalist who wrote the story as apparent fact. Following on from this there are a number of people who are claiming that they have developed computers which go a trillions of cycles per second and some which can think. One chap claims to have a program running which is now writing itself. And of course someone has demanded controls before these computers take over the world. And added to all this with the advent of the European single currency there is yet another reason to dread the comming of the next centuary. Keyboards don't have the symbol for the Euro. One thing is for sure, EUG and your 8 bit Acorn micro will be here for EUG30. Send something in.
