F/+ARM1
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,
well I've zipped through my collection of EUG discs and reckon my
problems have been the following :
CONVERTING AMX CLIPART TO SPRITE SCREENS FOR USE ON A3010 OR SIMILAR
********************************************************************
This appeared in EUG25 (APR96).I have found two ways of doing this for
Cut-Outs and Screens,for which I've written a separate article.Page files
and possibly a better way of doing Cut-Outs and Screens,are being looked
into by Robert Sprowson.I'll pass on the details as soon as I get them.
WHY CAN'T T2P3 OR SIMILAR,GAMES BE RUN ON MY A3010 IN BBC EMULATOR SWR
**********************************************************************
This appeared in EUG27 (AUG96).I haven't been able to solve this.However
if you still have the tape games,then Warm Silence Software produce a
nifty little gadget to allow a cassette player to be connected to a Risc
Os machine.You plug an adaptor in the Printer port and then transfer your
games to disc using their TAPES software and their Beeb emulator (6502em).
You can also do similar with Spectrum games.

ACCESSING SCSI HARD DRIVE FROM BEEB EMULATOR ON MY A3010
********************************************************
This appeared in EUG27 (APR97).Easy.
*ARFS (RETURN)
*DIR SCSI::4
I Can also access my CD ROM drive in a similar way.
*DIR CDFS::0
This is quite useful,because a while ago Acorn User had a CD ROM cover
disc.This had the contents of a lot of old Magazine discs on it and the
older ones have a fair amount of 8 bit stuff on.
Anyway I hope all this has been of some use.One more thing I've just
thought of.Some time ago I moaned on about not being able to use a nice
WP,i.e VIEW on my A3010,instead of the all singing all dancing types
which take 10mins or more to setup.Well if you get hold of a disc titled
BBC2 from the ARM CLUB PD library,you can create a version of
VIEW,VIEWSHEET or VIEWSTORE which will work in the desktop of a RISCOS
machine.It installs and works near instantaneously.All Arm Club PD
discs cost #1 each inc P+P and you don't need to be a member to buy from
them.
