L/CRANE1

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 yet another excellent EUG.I'm no programmer as I've
probably said before,but I do occasionally fiddle about with other peoples
programmes to see how they work or to adapt them to some other purpose.To
this end I once came across "No place like home" whilst meddling.If you're
interested its on education disc E01 by Moss PD.A little program called
Carolines House.You visit all the rooms in Carolines house and at the end
it plays it.
 
 If anybody else has disc drive trouble I can recommend FRC Electronics
who do everything imaginable in that department.3.5,5.25 Double Density,
High Density,new or refurbished.They even do repairs although its usually
cheaper just to replace a faulty drive.In a good deal of cases they can
replace with the same type.Surprisingly they stock the original single
sided drive from early Acorn plus 3s.Their address is:
                  FRC ELECTRONICS LTD
                  52 QUEENSWAY
                  CAVERSHAM PARK VILLAGE

                  RG4 0SJ          TEL(01734) 479550
 
 I can offer a little help to A Richardson regarding AP34.Firstly don't
bother with PRES.I sent something similar,to them in DEC 94 which they
promised to repair and I never got it back.I have sent a photocopy of some
instructions that came with some of the stuff I got from Derek.This at
least outlines the positions of the chips.If anybody else is interested
I'l quite happily run off some more.As for the DFS I have a rom image if
Alan can blow it(I don"t actually have a physical rom as readers of EUG22
and Bill Bradbury will be aware)in fact if this is possible can one be
done for me ?

 My for sale list was a tremendous success.The phone never stopped
ringing.Thus I can now see actual bits of carpet in my spare
room.Brilliant !! Thanks to all who called.I still have an odd bit left,so
I've sent a revised list for this issue of EUG.

 One final thing.I particularly liked the "About EUG" bit.I have sold bits
and pieces through Micro Mart and even sent info to people advertising in
the wanted ads.When so doing I always promote EUG.In future I shall be
able to send an "Official" printout.Nice that.

   Cheers for now

JOHN SENT THIS LETTER FOR EUG23 AND IN MY PANIC ABOUT NOT HAVING ENOUGH TO
PUT IN I FORGOT ABOUT IT. SO SORRY JOHN ESPECIALLY SUCH AN INTERESTING
LETTER.
