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.

  � !Help for !TurboROMs Version 1.10 �
  �     by Dave Thomas � 1991         �

  � Usage �

!TurboROMs is a utility which will increase the
ROM access time from 4MHz to 8MHz. This eliminates
the need for *RMFaster. Most fairly ROM-reliant apps
will show about 25% speed gain. BEWARE this utility
will NOT work on an A540 (if you have an A540 you 
don't really need this anyway your machine is so 
fast). When the app is loaded it does not increase
the speed straight away it waits for you to open 
it's main window and click on the 8MHz button. The
buttons control the ROM speed. The app is packaged
like this to facilitate for comparison of ROM 
speeds.
  
  � Copyright �

Two other applications are used in this
utility they are !ReadMe (!Help) &
Interface.
Other than them,this application remains
copyright of Dave Thomas 1991.Permission
is given to distribute this appliction
as long as *all* of the files remain 
together and intact.
The !ReadMe application is � J.Loring
The !Interface module is � S.Huntington
My greatest thanks go to these people for
putting their very useful programs in the
Public Domain.
