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,
Here is the promised letter and book review for the mag at last !!
I am sorry that I did not sent anything further for the mag - you did
not publish the letter or the game which I sent for disc. The letter
replied to Alan Richardson's problem re the perforation skip and other
comments. Also I amended the info to cover this and the info file is
missing from the EUG 42 discs you sent me. There were also some other
games on another disc I sent earlier.
I have written to Robert Sprowson and he has done me the EPROMS for
ADFS and AP4DFS to get my disc interface going again but unfortunately
my Elks have packed up. I am hoping a friend will be able to help but
Robert has suggested I post them to him if I pay the postage for return
(about #4 each way). He has repaired the ribbon cable of my dual
drives so that I can now use double sided discs in them again. I have
now bought the Master 128 he had on offer and I can my printer with
this when I have got it working properly agaiin.
I am still considering getting a PC so that I can get on line and have
got some books which are very helpful. There are a series of Easy PC
books which I have bought from The Book People Ltd.(Order Line), Hall
Wood Avenue, Haydock, St. Helens, Merseyside, WA11 9UR. They sell four
of the series at #4.99 - half the normal price. I have now got these
four -
PCs in Easy Steps
Windows 95 .. ..
Web Page Design .. ..
Internet Directory UK .. ..
I have done my best to write a review of these for the mag as I think
that they are very helpful. I also have the PC Expert Collection from
The PC Information Centre, Hartslade, Lichfield, WS14 9RH. This is a
ring bound book which they keep up to date. I have written some
comments on this too. All I want now is my PC and if you have any
suggestions, I shall be glad to hear from you. I have the latest Micro
Mart and I see some which might suit at around #400 to #500. Any
ideas?? I would be interested to know what you have got and possibly
could get the same equipment so we could help each other with our
problems. If you could let me know this as soon as you can, I could
possibly get on line sooner. There is a shop in Welling near me I
might try.
I see that there is a web site for the SPECTRUM so it is high time we
had a site for the Electron and BBC computers!! The address of the
Spectrum site is - http://www.void.demon.nl/spectrum.html. It is
called The World of Spectrum. It even includes an emulator !! I think
you could get some interesting ideas from this.
I hope to be on line in the near future....
Regards,
Richard Dimond
Is my writing so boring that noone reads it at all!! We have a web
site. It isn't very good and I need some help programming it. See
Knocking the Gate in the features menu.
Really sorry about leaving out your submissions. I will think of a
suitable excuse.
One problem I am having with some of your submissions is that you often
put them on the EUG disc which I send you and I can't really tell the
difference unless I load every file. After making up an EUG I tend to
have seen every file about a dozen times and it gets a little ahhhmmm,
boring.
I have just had a look at the disc and discovered that the letter which
you sent was saved as +gus1. I don't know how familure you are with my
GUS column but the character which I try to play when I write that
column really winds me up. This is one column which I really wouldn't
normally read again. I have now read your letter and have the
information you sent. Thanks anyway.
Perhaps you could delete all but the most essential files from the
discs which you send. I appreciate your throughness. This is what makes
you such a good programmer.
On the subject of directories. Yes there is a bit of a problem with the
sequence of the printouts. I hoped this wouldn't be too much of a
problem and the advantage of sightly quicker disc access would be
compensation. I am trying, on this disc to position the files on the
disc surface in the order they would normally be called, especially if
you work you way through EUG in sequence.
Any comments from anyone??
This letter was infact sent to me by Richard. He sent another for
publication but his disc had a fault and knowing how much everyone
enjoys Richards sparkling prose I decided to publish this one instead.
