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.

!Resistor:
----------

   This application allows you to get a correct value of a resistor,
for example its colour banding, which has always been a mystery to
most people when trying to buy resistors from component catalogues
and alike.

Just enter the value and the program will give you the correct colour
bands...
