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,
Many thanks for the latest issue of EUG, from which I note you are
a bit desperate for input. As I haven't been in touch for a while, due
mainly to moving house, I thought I'd throw in a line of two just to let
you know I'm still about - not that I have got much to report or drivel on
about.
I have, in the meantime, upgraded from my A3010 to the A7000+ and
still find your discs easily accessible with the emulator. The speed
difference between the 3010 and 7000+ has the same gap as the Welsh XV and
the South African XV (96 - 0). Having just bought No. 1 son a Pentium II
for his PHD I know which I prefer and it's At Heart, not Inside, if you
know what I mean.
I have enclosed two scraps of info, one from a contact in New
Zealand and one from the latest issue of Computer Shopper (must keep a
watch on the Windoze unwise). I don't know if you can use them, but they
are of interest perhaps!
I look forward to the next issue.
Yours sincerely,
Dil Williams.
You know me, I'm always desperate for input, and members need reminding
from time to time.
The article from Computer shopper for the benifit of everyone else is an
advert from a company touting loans. There is a picture of a basic Elk and
the caption reads 'NOW IS THE TIME TO UPGRADE'. We all know what they
mean. I must confess that while I won't be getting rid of my Elk because
it't too much fun I have thought that now might be a good time to think
about buying one of the latest (for now ) PCs. (I wonder if there is any
co-incidence in the abbreviation PC for personal computer and politically
correct?) The prices are so low and what some places are offering is
becomming tempting. I saw one ad offering a free digital camera and a
colour printer for under #900. Now if I only had #900.
I wrote to the address in New Zealand and received a reply back I have put
both below for everyone to enjoy
