+intro1

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.

Hi,Everyone,

EUG's Disc has been bit depleted of late,so I've offered to do a 'column'
each issue, to try and fill it up a bit.I'm not an expert in anything in
particular, more of a 'dabbler' really, so it'll probably be a bit of
mish-mash of stuff.A bit tech-ish and a bit chat. Please feel free to
comment and pass me suggestions via EUG.

Some issues back (EUG 37,apr 98) I suggested members sending Photos, a
sort of 'Rogues Gallery' if you like,but so far I've had no reponse.
Surely I'm  not the only one who likes looking at their self on 'Telly'.
Then again !! 

Anyway I've sent some more imagery to perhaps stimulate some interest. The
1st one is my computer set up and unfortunately due to technical
difficulties (My conversion program can only handle 'Landscape' pictures),
it requires the Monitor tilting 90 degrees. Or at least print it out first
and then tilt, that's easier.

If anyone's interested Spares at the top, Discs and Manuals next, Risc PC
on left, Electron on right, Printer, Scanner 5.25 drive and Cassette on
bottom and Spaghetti Junction between so to speak.

Picture 2 is the Man who started the Ball rolling, the Founder, Will
Watts, which I gleaned from EUG 2 (Nov 91).
                   -------------------------
Alan Richardson. I mentioned this in EUG33 (AUG 97),immediately after your
former request (EUG32). Perhaps you missed this issue. Anyway here goes :

                    RM7 9AJ
                   --------------------------

Right that's about it for now. Next time I hope to discuss BBC emulators
for RISC OS and also for the 'PC'. Unless anyone has any other suggestions.
