L/Sprow1
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,
Thank you for the Pascal stuff and the Basic ROM user guide -
money enclosed.You seemed to have no problem in splitting my text files
up - so I've lumped them all together this time.
As I am sure I am not alone in sitting some way from the TV when using
my Acorn so I have used hard returns to make this a 40 column file - to
avoid the higgldy piggldy text in my last submission which was done on
a PC wordprocessor with wordwrap.
Please also find enclosed the three stamps you sent to me to return
the famous 'S' disks that I never received!
When finished with the disk please return it in the enclosed envelope
as I seem to be getting a little short on second hand spare disks.
The main reason for delay is the last file 4.EMULATOR as I forgot
that the Electron doesn't have Mode0.This meant me rewriting my PC to
BBC serial link program which now includes a converter from 320x256 BMP
file to Mode four *LOADable files.
>EDITREM -
sorry if this was better as a text file rather than a load of
REMs,I only do it this way as BASIC comes as standard on all
Acorns whereas not all have text editors.I noticed this
file didn't appear on EUG24 though so've re-enclosed it
>SECRETS -
how to reset the 6502 had a typing error at the end of it,again due to my
submitting it as a program. It should read:
PRINT"Press a key to reset"
A=GET
CALL ((?&FFFD)*256+(?&FFFC))
REM or CALL !-4 for short
I hope this didn't cause any
problems as the code given
wouldn't work as it stands
>CMOSRAM -
if the battery dies on the Master so do the CMOS RAM settings.This
program backs them up ready to restore at a later date.
Incidentally the term CMOS does not mean 'retains the values even when
off' as it is usually referred to,but: COMPLEMENTARY METAL OXIDE SILICON
describing the process used to build the gates from Si.
>FORSALE - more items I've got to sell off this month.Over 2k worth
>SAVE -
one of your members asked how to implement *SAVE but passing a BASIC
variable name as the file instead of a fixed name.
*****For those with BASIC2 this is: OSCLI"SAVE "+NAME$+" strt fnsh exec"
or if even more flexibility is need then change the addresses for this:
STR$~(strt) or fnsh or exec repectively hence a full piece of working
code would be:
N$="$.filename"
s=&3000:REM start address in hex
f=&8000:REM finish
e=&FFE7:REM makes your screen file
into a *command
OSCLI"SAVE "+N$+" "+STR$~(s)+" "+
STR$~(f)+" "+STR$~(e)
*****For those using BASIC1 use:
DIM loc% maxlength%
$loc%="SAVE "+NAME$+" "+STR$~(s)
+" "+STR$~(f)+" "+STR$~(e)
CALL&FFF7:REM Call the OScli
>5{" DRIVES -
thank you for your comments on how the Elk uses 3\" drives,I do have a
BBC with a 1770 disk controller in but I shall try it with the 8271
first an tell you how I get on.
Incidentally Farnell still sell disk drives intended for the BBC
specifically,their address is:
Farnell Electronics
Canal road,
Leeds,
LS12 2TU.Tel (01132) 636311
Type FD55FR,DS,80T with
order code 308481 but
costs 93.84+VAT !!
>T.EMULATOR -
>4.EMULATOR -
A text file and Mode 4 *LOADable file with the circuit diagram of how to
make an eprom emulator if you haven't got sideways RAM to use ROM
images in,but DO have an Eprom programmer.
As regards the other items I have promised such as 27K source code
assembler,well,it's on its way...
Keep BBCing (I now also own a Master which is what I'm typing this on).
Yours sincerely,
ROBERT SPROWSON.
I ALWAYS REPLACE DISCS SENT WITH NEW, UNUSED BRAND NAME DISCS. THE REASON
IS THAT I KEEP EVERY DISC I AM SENT. I CHECKED YOUR DISC CAREFULLY AND
COULD ONLY FIND THOSE FILES WHICH YOU INTENDED FOR EUG. I HOPE THIS IS OK.
WHILE I AM ON THE SUBJECT I DO FORGET THINGS AND REPLACING DISCS IS NO
EXCEPTION. I TRY VERY HARD BUT IF I DO FORGET TO SEND A REPLACEMENT DISC
THEN DO CONTACT ME AND ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE.
THE ELECTRON DOES HAVE MODE 0. IT DOESN'T HOWEVER HAVE MODE7 AS STANDARD
THOUGH SOME OF US HAVE ADDED IT.
THE EDITREM PROGRAM RATHER MYSTIFIED ME AND I TRIED TO MAKE IT INTO A TEXT
FILE WITH LIMITED SUCCESS. THERE WAS A PROGRAM ON EUG24 CALLED V-TYPE
WHICH WILL READ TEXT FILES SO IT MIGHT BE BETTER IF YOU STUCK TO THESE
THOUGH THANKS FOR THE EFFORT WHICH YOU MUST HAVE MADE TO PRODUCE EDITREM.
IT IS ON THIS DISC AS YOU SENT IT IN DIR X.
MY COMMENT ON 5.25" DRIVES HAS OPENED A CAN OF WORMS. I KNOW THEY ARE
STILL AVAILABLE AND THEY ARE GOOD, I USE ONE MYSELF. MY CONCERN WAS SIMPLY
THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING MADE ANY MORE SO SUPPLIES WILL EVENTUALY DRY UP.
I WAS ESPECIALLY CONCERNED THAT SOME PLACES HAVE BEEN OFFERING PC 5.25"
DRIVES CLAIMING THEY ARE ACORN COMPATABLE WHEN INFACT THEY BARELY ARE.
THANKS FOR THE ADDRESS. I HAVE A NUMBER OF 40/80 SWITCHABLE 5.25" DRIVES
WHICH I WILL BE PREPARED TO SELL.
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PROGRAMS.
