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 All,
I hope you had I nice
Christmas and New Year - but lets get
straight down to business.
This month there's an improved ROM
loader for the 8 bit machines.I don't
have access to an Electron with
sideways RAM board,so have guessed
that images are loaded by simply using
*LOAD file 8000
Please,someone,pass a note to me
saying if otherwise and I'll change
the loader program accordingly.
Also,there's a generic text entry
routine,which you could incorporate
into your programs to give a common
user interface.It's based on the one
used in the Ris OS desktop on newer 32
bit machines,but written in BBC BASIC
so that you can run it.I does infact
still run on the newest machine (Risc
PC) because Acorn have used the same
tokens for BBC BASIC V.
The observant of you will notice the
forsale file from me has become more
bloated,This is due to an influx of
new stuff from Charles Spender,a
member of 8 Bit Software.He's asked me
to check over the equipment,and then
sell off any surplus parts that work.
The money is being split,part of which
wil be going to his chosen charity,the
Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Next month I hope to bring you (if I
ever finish!) the faster Mode 0 editor,
based on the BASIC version I sent some
time back now.Also,details of how to
fix the Year 2000 problem on a Master
128,or indeed any other machine with
real time clock.
For those of you with internet access:
www.york.ac.uk/~rps102/bbc/bbc.htm
is my BBC homepage,and not only has
the most up to date forsale list on,
but also some free software to
download,including many updated
versions of past programs that I have
submitted,
Each has a full manual too - and you
can pass comments to me by emailing
rps102@york.ac.uk
Lots to look forward too,see you next
issue.
Robert Sprowson.
REGARDS LOADING ROM IMAGES ON THE ELECTRON

USED. THE MOST COMMON IS SLOGGER AND THE
