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.

LETTER 10
Tony Boarer 214 Dunraven Drive Derriford Plmouth PL6 6AZ 01752 771276
***********************************************************************
Dear Gus,
One of the good things about my set-up is that, as now, I can have
EUG22 in my INTEBRA-B (should really be Beta) set to OSMODE0 which
mimmicks BBC 32K and page the text through bit by bit as I write this
letter from my main Electron with STARWORD active; and switch from one
to the other via the RGB switch.
Thanks for your comments on my problems and I think I can see how to
modify the various disks of EUG to get them to run from the menu. In
EUG22 the PMENU-Item 7 gave "Bad name at line 140", but altering f$ at
line 650 to TxtTxt (and not TXTTXT1 as *CAT) caused it to run.
My view is to keep to the current disk system. A very retrograde step
to go back to the "typing in dark ages". After all technology is
advancing and via Micro Computer Mart disk drives compatible with both
the Electron and BBC are available almost every week at low cost (but
see later about Parcel Force/Farce!). Interfaces for disk drives for
the Electron do not come up so frequently now I have noticed but this
is no problem if one goes to a BBC - these are also reasonably cheap to
buy now.
John Crane's letter.
I gave up on Bill Bradbury some time back when I could get no response
from him after a Slogger PLUS2 I bought would not function with an AMX
Mouse. Derek Walker sorted it out for me. With negligible support for
the Electron now I have bought up several Electron's, ADDONS, disk
drives and software to see me through the years ahead - I hope! Perhaps
I was lucky with Parcel Force here for most of these were well packed,
mostly in their original boxes.
However, I even had to do a soldering job to repair the RGB switch from
Derek Walker and return a printer switch for repair. But my worst
experience was the delivery of the BBC INTEGRA-B - the only thing I
could get out of it on first power up was a continuous noise and I
still cannot get the disk drive to work that was supplied with it. A
local one man firm - West Devon Electronics - got it going again for
#37.00. So if buying via Micro Computer Mart the lesson is good packing
in PLENTY of bubble plastic and a STRONG box - better still the
original moulded packing - even better still, collect it!
Richard Dimond's letter.
I get a lot of crashing with any of my Electron's connected to the same
Slogger PLUS2 and ROMBOX+. Anything causing movement of the edge
connectors will lead to a crash (the PLUS2 does not have any screw
connection to theElectron or the ROMBOX). Also without a PLUS2 and
using the screws to connect the ROMBOX, PLUS3, etc will cause crashing
if the wrong pressure is exerted on tightening the screws. I have less
trouble not using the screws at all. Another source of crashing I have
found needs the interface unit or cartridge to be pushed to the right
or left (the ROMBOX's vary) of the socket now and again. Also I have to
waggle the edge connectors very slightly (and gently!) now and again.
All these operations with power off, of course. I think that I have
voiced my opinion before about the silvered fingers - they wear easily.
My electronics friend at the firm mentioned above tells that it is
possible to recoat these fingers but I have not gone any further with
it.
Having said all that I have decided not to expand my Electron or BBC
system any further (though I have less crashing with the BBC's), but
just to consolidate my ROM's (I have a lot) into ROM128's and 256's -
I'm about a year behind schedule with this aspect.
Just chat.
Three of my computers on line have BBRAM and/or CMOS clock so I have to
switch them on quite often even if I am not going to use a particular
computer. It can be a bit galling if CLICK crashes and the backup to
disk is not quite up to date - more about CLICK next time as it is a
useful ADDON.
I am giving serious consideration as to where I am going next with the
technology changing so fast. Even notebook computers now talk in
Gigabytes. When to step in - that is the question - it has to be a
quantum leap.
Best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year.
BILL BRADBURY IS SEMI-RETIRED NOW. I HAVE MANAGED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM
AT LAST. THE EDGE CONNECTORS ON SLOGGER PRODUCTS SEEM TO CAUSE A LOT OF
TROUBLE BUT THE PRODUCTS ARE WORTHWILE.
THE MARKET FOR THE ELK IS GETTING A BIT DIFFICULT. WE CAN ONLY TRY TO
CARRY ON AS LONG AS POSSABLE. I NOW HAVE A MASTER AS WELL AS MY ELK BUT
THERE ARE PROBLEMS EVEN WITH IT.
I HOPE OTHER MEMBERS WILL WRITE IN WITH THEIR VIEWS ON PC's.
I THINK I HAVE SAID BEFORE, I HAVE A NOTEBOOT PC WHICH COST `1000 WHEN
NEW. WITHIN A YEAR THE COMPANY WHICH MADE IT SAID THAT THEY WOULD
NO-LONGER SUPPORT IT RE SPARES. AT THE MOMENT IT IS BEING REPAIRED BY A
FRIEND WHO IS TRYING TO GET A RELATIVELY SIMPLE PART THROUGH THE
'UNDERGROUND' BECAUSE IT ISN'T AVAILABLE. THIS IS REALLY ONE OF THE BIG
PROBLEMS WHICH I HAVE WITH PC's, THAT THEY SEEMED TO BE DESIGNED TO LAST
ONLY A FEW YEARS. THEY ARE INCREDABLY EXPENSIVE AS WELL.
THE LATEST DOS APPARENTLT USES 60+ MEGA BYTES OF DISC SPACE. MANY PROGRAMS
USE 10+ MEGA BYTES. A 1 GIGA BYTE HARD DRIVE ISN'T SO BIG WITH ALL THIS.
CD's SEEM TO BE CATCHING ON BUT WITH EACH NEW DEVELOPMENT MORE AND MORE
MONEY x `100's. FROM AN ECCONOMICS POINT OF VIEW IT MAKES SENSE FOR
MANUFACTURES TO RAISE THEIR PRICES AS HIGH AS THE MARKET WILL TOLLERATE,
AFTER ALL THAT IS THE FOUNDATION OF CAPITOLISM, PRODUCTS ATTRACTING THE
HIGHEST DEMAND ATTRACT THE HIGHEST PRICES. BUT THOSE OF US WITH HUMBLE
MEANS WILL ENEVITABLY BE SQUEEZED OUT, OR TO PUT IT ANOTHER WAY IF WE WANT
TO PLAY THE GAME WE WILL FIND A WAY TO PAY THE FEE.
IF YOU DO THINK ABOUT BUYING A PC I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU AVOID A
NOTEBOOK AND GO FOR A DESK TOP MODEL WHICH HAS A NUMBER OF EXPANSION SLOTS
INTO WHICH YOU PLUG VARIOUS CARDS, SUCH AS A VIDEO CARD FOR A MONITOR, A
HARD DISC CARD AND SO ON. THAT WAY CARDS CAN BE REPLACED. ALSO GO FOR AT
LEAST A 486. 386 IS OK AND WILL RUN ALMOST EVERYTHING CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
BUT THEY ARE GETTING A BIT OLD HAT NOW, 3 YEARS OLD I THINK, WOW. YOU CAN
STILL KEEP YOUR ELK. PERSONALLY I THINK AFTER THE FUN HAS DIED DOWN A
LITTLE YOU WILL WANT TO ANYWAY. THE FUN YOU CAN HAVE WITH THE 8 BIT
MACHINES JUST ISN'T THERE WITH PC's.
