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,
I was wondering if any EUG reader/member could help with a little problem
that has arisen as follows:-
My Brother-in-Law is secretary of the local Heart Fondation charity group
and I fixed him up with a Beeb and View word processor to do the minutes
plus all his begging letters, etc. He happily bashed away for a couple
of years on the Beeb until a Master became available with built in View,
which he has used for a further two years - both machines being used with
the same 40T 5�" DD.
The power supply on the Master blew up and was replaced which resulted in
his inability to read any of his previous discs. The dreaded "disc
fault 18" error being thrown up every time. I have changed DDs,
computer and Configure settings to no avail, all his previously saved
files being the only ones to indicate the error. i.e. current savings
can be re-loaded as can anything saved via other set-ups before and after
the power supply change.
Can anyone offer some advice on this problem, or better still, examine
the discs with a disc utility perhaps to see if a salvage job is
possible. It entails trying to recover mainly View files off three discs.
Any gen/info/assistance would be gratefully appreciated, especially by
the local branch of The British Heart Foundation, so that their begging
letters can start flowing again.
Yours hopefully. (D.E. WILLIAMS)
