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.

26, Chamberlain Rd., Llandaff North, Cardiff. CF4 2LX. Tel: 01222 566413 15th March, 1996 Dear Gus, Two little snippets for the next issue Secondly; I see some comments about the Slogger 8-socket ROM Box, which could be put between the ELK and the PLUS 1, that did not have any rear fastening for the PLUS 1. This caused the PLUS 1 to be a little rickety, to say the least, unless some means of support was achieved. Having tried various methods I finished up using two long, thin, self locking cable ties, one on either side. When pulled tight around the whole caboodle a fairly rigid set-up was realised, which eliminated plug/socket contact problems. The only trouble was that when the system needed its annual spring clean, or when a dismantling job was needed for whatever reason, the ties had to be sacrificed with wire cutters. I notice releasable ones are obtainable these days which could do away with this waste. Cheers. (D.E. WILLIAMS)
