L/+HELP!
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!
I AM writing to the Electron User Group in the hope that it could help
me in my work for International Aid Trust, a Christian charity helping
sick and terminally ill children (mainly in Eastern Europe).
From time to time we get old computers donated for resale or sending
overseas. Recently we got a BBC Master 128 with a 3.5" floppy disk
drive and a couple of BBC Model Bs with 5.25" ones. However, we have
very little software on either disk size and seek any hard/software
material lists your members may have together with how much they want
for any items.
I am also having a few problems with the BBC Model Bs and would
appreciate some help in setting them up.

THERE is a definitive lack of 3.5" disk software for BBC machines (apart
from the Electron) as the commonest drive when professional software was
being released was the 5.25" one. However, dredging through the archives
did result in a few professional releases that transferred to 3.5" disks
without worry. These have been forwarded free.
If any EUG readers can help further, they can contact EUG or refer to
it in contact with Mr McConnell directly. Note that he is searching for
disks on both formats to be used with youngsters whose first language is
not necessarily English. Mainly titles such as HOPPER and ARCADIANS suit
best the purpose.
Any readers still 'up' on BBC Model B setups?
