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.

The following request for help comes from:
Ciaron Drain, 2 Hayfield, Maybury Drive, East Craigs, EDINBURGH EH12 8UH

HELLO, Electron User Group! I am currently doing a Computer Science 
degree and researching microcomputers from the early 1980s. I have an
Acorn Electron but am looking for a BBC B computer and extensions for
all Acorn's computers, including the A3000 for which I would like to get
a 5.25" disk drive. Can anyone help?

HAVING just retired, my Electron, fitted with the BBC Lisp language, is
waiting patiently for a printer so that I can pursue my hobby. However,
I have no idea where I could get a compatible one after so long a time
and after such great advances in technology.
   Can anyone help me regarding any gear I might need to advance my 
'hobby' with the Electron?
