LETTERS/CRANE1
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,
thanks for iss 16.Once again a very enjoyable read and quite
informative.There seems to be quite a goldmine of info on Elks etc amongst
our members and I'd like to thank all those who have taken the time and
trouble to help me out.
I take it that one or two gremlins crept into the works,as the 1st two
letters appear to have the same name as the two problems,although the
contents of the letters bore little resemblance to their names.Also Bill
Bradbury's no. is 0992 464248 not 0 or was that just a typing
error.Perhaps that's why you've had no reply.
As regards Slogger and Bill Bradbury's interest in it,I have had some
experience of his dealings lately and so thought my views may be of
interest.Firstly his answer machine.If you have got through to it on more
than one occasion you've probably noticed its a bit erratic.He has told me
in the past that it is dodgy and that he doesn't always get messages in
full.Having said that,why someone who sells and repairs computers and
other electronic bits and pieces can't either fix it or replace it is
beyond me.Perhaps its better now I haven't spoken to it recently.Contrary
to popular belief I have found the best time to catch Bill in person is
after 7.00pm and he's always been quite happy to talk to me.Indeed when I
had some work done by him a short while ago he once rang me at 9.45pm to
let me know his progress.
I have written to Bill on a number of occasions and while he has often
taken 2 or 3 weeks to reply he has always answered my queries quite
fully.He still has a fairly comprehensive Elk catalogue available,perhaps
if his address was included on EUG discs more people would be aware of his
facilities and his interest may perk up a bit.At one time in the old
"Paper" days of EUG there was always a suppliers page.I myself have
compiled such a list and it is enclosed on this disc.I am sure there are
probably more suppliers but at least it's a start.
Anyhow back to my saga.Somebody enquired if MRB's were still available
and I can assure you that they are.I had my Elk upgraded to 64k earlier
this year and I am quite impressed with it.At the same time I had Sloggers
SP64 DTP package fitted and this is where the problems started.Apparently
Bill's stock of SP64 boards had run dry and he had to order more parts to
build some more.However some of the specialist chips involved were no
longer available and the updated equivalents crashed the whole set up.No
problem !! Bill had to totally redesign the circuitry for the SP64.In fact
I understand Andrew Hilbig was drafted in to help and after some
considerable time and effort between them they got SP64 back on its feet
with one or two extra features to boot.Throughout all this I must admit I
did pester him a bit (I am a bit impatient) and never once did he reply to
me with anything other than courtesy and consideration.
*************
I've one or two other points while I'm rambling on.I agree totally about
PRES.They do seem very pricey for their various interfaces and indeed I
feel their interests lie elsewhere.I sent one of their old 32k SWR Ram
cartridges back to them for repair/replacement in June and except for
acknowledging receipt they seem to have done very little about it.I rang
them up on some other aspect recently and they tried to talk me into
buying an A3010 or A3020."Nobody bothers much with old Electron
stuff anymore"someone told me.
As for C.Weber's comments I cannot agree.If you can't introduce yourself
through the letters page where can you ? After all we've got a problem
page for practical exchange of help.As for the title page the argument
doesn't hold water as far as I'm concerned.If we were a magazine on a
newsagent's shelf then obviously a recognisable cover would be
essential.Since all EUG members receive their magazine on disc or perhaps
tape,so long as it's clear on the outside what's on it,it doesn't matter
what the title page looks like.In fact I look forward to the variety.I
certainly wasn't aware of any age problem.I'm 29 myself for what it's
worth and if anybody wants to send in chart music reviews that's fine by
me.Equally if we have any older members who wish to send in Knitting
Patterns that's ok too.I personally only read things of interest to
myself and if I start reading something which turns out to be otherwise I
just hold down the shift key and skip to something else.
I must say I like the sub menu idea.I often refer back to my EUG disc to
retrieve some useful bit of info and having letters etc more itemised
makes finding them a lot easier.
That's all for now anyway.Since this will probably appear in iss
17,Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all.
PS.
just a quick note to add to the disk I've just sent you
Firstly I feel I may have been a little unfair to PRES.I still think
their prices are a bit high.However as regards their Elk backup,my faith
in them has been restored.Just this morning what appears to be a brand
new ABR cartridge dropped onto my mat,despite the fact that they are
no-longer made or stock it. FANTASTIC!!! Obviously you can delete the
plea for a 32k SWR cartridge from my disk.
Secondly PRES appear to have abandoned their name and are now using the
old ACP (Advanced Computer Products) name although their address hasn't
changed (PO BOX 319 LIGHTWATER SURREY GU18 5PW)
That's all for now.
I AM SORRY IF I GAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT I WAS IN ANY WAY PERSONALLY
DISATISFIED WITH BILL BRADBURY. I AM SIMPLY A BIT FRUSTRATED TRYING TO
GET INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT SLOGGER IS CURRENTLY DOING SO THAT I CAN PUT
IT INTO EUG. AFTER ALL IT IS SURELY IN SLOGGER'S AND EUG'S INTERESTS
THAT EACH SURVIVES. SLOGGER DOES HAVE A BIT OF A SHAKEY HISTORY BUT
I AND I'M SURE ALL EUG MEMBERS WISH SLOGGER AND BILL BRADBURY WELL.
I DO THINK THOUGH THAT WE AS CUSTOMERS ARE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN AND IF I OR
ANY EUG MEMBER FEELS THAT A COMPANY IS NOT WORKING IN OUR BEST INERESTS
THEN LET'S SAY SO LOUD AND CLEAR. COMPETITION IN THE ELECTRON MARKET IS
NOT DEAD YET. OUR MONEY IS AS GOOD AS ANYONE ELSES AND I FOR ONE AM A
LITTLE FED UP BEING GIVEN SECOND CLASS SERVICE AND NOT JUST FROM
COMPUTER COMPANIES SIMPLY BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT I AM UNLIKELY TO
SPEND VERY MUCH.
PS FINALY MANAGED TO CONTACT BILL BRADBURY, HE HAS SAID HE WILL TRY TO
SEND SOMETHING SO PERHAPS THINGS ARE LOOKING UP.
