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.

ORDER YOUR BOARDS
HI ALL! This month you'll find circuit diagrams and software on the EUG
disk with which you can build a 8 megabyte RAM disk for your BBC. More
details are given in my Article [selected from the Articles Menu - Ed].
You'll also find a utility for transferring to ROM, "RFS" and the manual
to accompany it.
I suspect with the former though, that most of you will stick around
the 256kB or 512kB mark as I certainly don't have 8Mb worth of BBC Micro
software that I need all at once...
For those who don't feel up to laying out the parts and soldering
them together like I did with the prototype, it IS possible for me to
do a small batch of ready-made ones. Any interest?
I think one of the following two would be appropriate. Note that I
haven't included the amount of RAM in my calculations, as this is up the
end user. (The RAM is easily available from companies like Farnell
anyway.)
a) a fully assembled printed circuit board with space for RAM chips
approx 35 + RAM chips
b) just the printed circuit board which you then assemble yourself
approx 10 + you'll need to source *all* the other parts
I've found a better PCB manufacturer than the saga I had when trying to
make some Master cartridge slot ROM boards - but there's still a setup
charge so the more boards I order, the more that setup cost gets spread
out. Please let me know if you're potentially interested in the above.
In the meantime, as always, happy soldering!
