L/Boarer1
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.

LETTER 11
Tony Boarer 214 Dunraven Drive Derriford Plymouth PL6 6AZ 01752 771276
***********************************************************************
Dear Gus,
Just a few words on EUG 23.
Editorial.
Good idea to keep EUG to one disk until such time that you have
consistently more to put in - keeps your workload a bit even as well. I
see that there are 99820 free bytes on the disk though only one free
file.
Letters.
Richard Dimond.
I thought of squeezing the contacts together but considered that this
wobld again lead to further wear of the silvered fingers. With my
8-ROM ROMBOX fixed between the Electron and a PLUS1 I could only
avoid crashing by pushing two matchsticks (one at each end) between
the Electron and the ROMBOX. ROMBOX to PLUS1 caused no problems.
My letter.
About the quantum leap. At present I have a MITAC 3027F notebook which
is a 386. It runs with DOS 5.0 and has a lot of other pre-loaded
software. At present I have started to get to grips with the CEOWRITE
word processor and only intend to use *WORD for the EUG disk. Otherwise
I have hardly touched the surface of it's capabilities. I do not, in
any case, intend to give up on the Electron or the BBC. When I do make
theleapI willgoto aMULTIMEDIA PC system with the highest MHz then
available. More about my PC thoughts separately. I also have heaps of
Electron and BBC software and firmware that I have hardly explored.
Best wishes.
