L/VIGLEN1
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.

Questionnaire: TO ALL VIGLEN/CARE CARTRIDGE USERS. These are the little ROM packs that plug into the 'ashtray' on the left hand side of the BBCs keyboard and which prevent you continually having to open up the case to swap ROMs. If you use these,or were intending to move over to them,but are put off by them being useless on the Master 128 then I may have the solution... I have designed (based on Acorn approved circuitry) a little card that plugs directly into the cardridge slot on a Master,which then has a slot in the top of it for accepting a Viglen/Care ROM cartridge.Called the 'MasterCard'. Hence,if you ever have the need to use the packs in either or both machine's you can use the same packs on both. I am currently in the process of choosing a company to make up the double sided printed circuit board required by the design,but before I commit any money to the cards I need to guage the interest. Hence,if you think you might want to buy such a addon,or want more details,write to me,or register your 'vote' by phoning me: *Send no money now *These are a brand new design (C)1996 *I intend to keep the price below `9 *They are fully Acorn compatible For details or to reserve a card Robert Sprowson, 6 Bollinbrook road, MACCLESFIELD, Cheshire.
