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,
Sorry that my last letter was not sent to you on disk but I was not
anticipating publication - not that I mind. I use STARWORD as well so
there will be no problem. Correspondents have been saying a little
about themselves - which is a good idea since we cannot meet as a
group - so here is a brief on my background. I am now in my 12th.
year of retirement and I started my career as a Chatham Dockyard
engine fitter apprentice, retiring as a member of the Royal Corps of
Naval Constructors. On the way I obtained a B.Sc. Honours Degree in
Mathematics at London University as well as studying aspects of
Engineering and Naval Construction at the Royal Naval Colleges of
Manadon and Greenwich. I was also a Fellow of three professional
Institutes whilst a serving officer. I own two cars at present and
do all the maintenance, as I have done since first owning a
motorcycle way back in my apprenticeship days - how much longer I can
do this I don't know! Otherwise it's mainly jobs about the house and
garden and now the Electron as a hobby.
How I started using the Electron was given in my letter published in
Issue 6 of EUG. Now that I have expanded my system substantially I
realise how lacking I am in programming and electronic matters. So as
said in a letter in Issue 15 I must also add my thanks to Derek Walker
for steering me in the right direction so many times. So I am now
going to expand on various topics as my contribution to help keep EUG
going, rather than write one very long letter. You can then publish
as you wish - I hope all of them in due course.
LETTER 2
Further to my letter published in Issue 6 I have expanded my system
considerably and intend to go on doing this as a hobby. Firstly, I
thought that since I had such a large databank of financial
information what would happen if my Electron ceased to function - I
certainly could not entertain loosing access. So I bought another
(second hand) 64K Electron fitted with the JAFA MODE7 - and then
another (second hand) one with a faulty keyboard but unused
electronics.
I use my original 64K electron as my main computer (no JAFA) and have
this connected to the SLOGGER ROMBOX+ through the SLOGGER PLUS2. At
present I have Derek Walker's BBRAM in pages 14 and 15, and the AMX
MOUSE ROM in page 13. CLICK (version 1.04) is in pages 0 and 1, and
the SLOGGER disk interface (with the SLOGGER T2PEG400) is in pages 2
and3.Isometimes have to swap the interfaceand CLICK around but more
about this when I write about problems. I have one of Derek Walker's
ROM128's in page6, and havea RAM Module (made up by Andrew Hilbig
before SLOGGER ceased trading in it's own right) in pages 4 and 5.
Also connected to this computer is a Binatone Starcorder, and twin
disk drives supplied by SLOGGER - also Database's SOUNDMASTER. This
latter is only a device to take sound away from the computer to
earphones with volume control - OK for games without worrying my wife!
The JAFA fitted computer I have connected to the Acorn PLUS 1 through
the original SLOGGER 8 ROM ROMBOX. The PLUS 1 is fitted with the PRES
Advanced Plus 2 ROM. I have the SLOGGER JOYSTICK interface fitted in
the front cartridge slot and a DIXONS TR17 Cassette Recorder fitted
to this computer. The Plus 2 ROM occupies page 12 by default and at
present I only have the JAFA ROM fitted as well - in page 13.
My old 14" colour TV was recently on the way out so I bought a second
hand Cub Microvitec colour monitor. This monitor is no longer in
production - nor the Philips CM8833, the other good choice. I wish I
had gone to a monitor earlier as the difference in clarity is
enormous. The message is snap these monitors up! I have arranged my
electrics so that Ican have power on both computers at the same time,
and can switch one or the other to the monitor via Derek Walker's RGB
TTL switch. This I find handy for I can work out a little programming
problem on the JAFA computer without downloading,etc my main
computer. The other computer is a true spare residing in the desk
drawer!
Finally,I have two printers connected through a FEC 170 092 Centronics
autoswitch which enables me to dump, for example, this letter to
either printer or to dump the screen (or any part of it by use of the
BBC DUMPMASTER ROM) to either printer.
Not too long winded I hope and hoping it will be of interest. I will
follow up with a letter about my printers.
LETTER 3
I have recently been around the buoy to buy my second printer. I would
not advise a second hand purchase for a printer. This may of of
interest to John Crane. Obviously an Epson compatible printer is
desirable and I think one will have difficulty in beating the STAR
printers for sufficient quality and price. I bought my first printer,
a Panasonic KX-1081, several years ago based on advertisements in the
ELECTRON USER. It is black and white only but if one has SLOGGER's
STARGRAPH ROM graphics can be dumped in shades of grey according to
colours by just ending a Programme with *PRINT. This ROM also allows
different size dumps. The printer cost me around #150.00. However,
costs are now much reduced and I would now, in the same situation,
go for a STAR colour printer as this can do black and white anyway. I
have very recently bought the STAR LC100 9 pin dot matrix colour
printer for just #115.00 brand new and including next day delivery.
If I remember correctly I could have bought the 24 pin dot matrix
colour printer for about another #60.00. The STAR black and white 9
and 24 pin printers are correspondingly cheaper. 24 pin gives greater
clarity if required.
I am very pleased with both printers, but the latter has the advantage
of electronic DIP switches. It very tedious fiddling around with
mechanical DIP switches. I say this because some ROMS require the DIP
switch setting to be changed from their default setting - e.g. PMS
NTQ.
