MikeC/Software/ReadMe
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.

File contents
Test files to run on the Simulator drag the /H version into the simulator.
Count :- Binary Count on Output Port. Just run this.
Shift :- Shifting bit, set Watchdog time out to 10 and then run.
Watchdog time out set to other values will alter the speed.
The following are by Bill Jeffs, as no contact bounce is used they might
produce inconsistant results when blown into a chip.
Test-A :- A test for most instructions enabled by the PORT A switches.
Set all switches to low
Toggle PortA,4 Switch Hi-Lo for a sequnce, if held high it will repeat.
Toggle PortA,3 and 2 Hi-Lo for a differant sequnce of LEDs.
PortA,1 Hi then PortA,0 LED toggles until PortA,1 is Lo.
Test-B :- Checks operation of the interrupts from PortB and RTCC
Operate switches PortB, 4 to 7 to generate interrupt.
Interrupts generated on the lo-hi and hi-lo transitions.
Detection of operation confirmed when PortA, 1 to 4 LEDs are on.
PortB,0 a hi-lo transition Toggles PortA,0 LED
PortB,2 LED toggles on each timeout of the RTCC
Test-C :- Test of the SLEEP mode
PortB,7 hi the sleep mode is enabled, lo to disable.
When watchdog timer reaches time out (set to 40 or so) Sleep LED is off
and then goes on again.
