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, Yet another plea of help.Let me just say before I ramble on that most of my previous problems have now been solved.I subscribe to 8BS as well as EUG and I usually bother those members as well with my troubles.Someone in 1 or other of these excellent publications generally pops up with the answer.However in the main they seem to reply direct to me so some other members may miss out on the info.If anyone can remember what I've asked for upto press and could compile a short list to jog my memory,even if it's just a list of EUG's,where seen;then I could perhaps write some brief articles for the mag.Just a thought. Right then.Can anyone give me an address for PD software author JJA VAN GINK or the company he works (worked ?) for DER HANSIE DEVELOPMENTS ? I have a disc formatter program made by them.In the listing it says "Please feel free to suggest other formats for inclusion in the program.Send us a formatted disc and we'll write the format into the program."However no address is given,so I don't know where to write to.The program copyright date is (C) 1990. Alternatively does anyone know of a formatter application,for use in the Desktop of my A3010,which will allow me to format ADFS (S) and (M) formats ? I can format (L) sometimes called 640K or 640K(L) with the normal facilities provided with my A3010 and the program mentioned above also does (L).I have 1 or 2 ADFS utility discs from Elk,Beeb etc,but it appears to be impossible to format within the BBC emulator. Perhaps if I send a copy of the PD Desktop Formatter program to someone handy at programming,they could aadapt it for me ? John Crane 34 St Andrews Walk Harrogate North Yorks HG2 7RL (01423) 885049
