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.

FastGrab provides a full RISC OS front end for the
Wild Vision Hawk V9 Realtime Colour Digitiser. It
includes the highly acclaimed ChangeFSI routine
for image processing and enhancement, and provides
a live video display on the desktop. The power of
this software means that you can quickly produce
high quality sprites from any video source, and
use them in other RISC OS applications.

This version of FastGrab will only work with the
Hawk V9 board.
