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.

File contents
I find my self in the position of having to apologies once again to everyone who contacts me for advice and help. I am really so busy at the moment with my work that the time I have left for EUG is limited. I especially have to apologise to a member who desperately needed a disc drive. I had one which I was happy to give him but not the time to sent it. Sorry again. I was recently speaking to a woman I know who was concerned about getting her daughter a computer to connect to the Internet. Her main worry was the reports she had heard about the millennium bug. Apparently she had heard that it would cause her to lose her electricity supply! A man who I was trying to sell a security camera system for his factory was alarmed when I said that the control module was microprocessor controlled. He needed to be reassured that the millennium bug wouldn't turn off his machines. An advert in the Maplin magazine for some Millennium bug fixit, on first reading suggests that the bug can be transferred from disc to disc. I'm beginning to get the feeling that perhaps people might get the shock they deserve.
