LETTS2

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.

  120PRINT"Wow! What a fine effort. I must admit to a little trepidation when I first"
  130PRINT"heard the E.U.G. was going onto disc but the result is really good."
  140PRINT"Congratulations on a fine job."
  150PRINT
  160PRINT"How can I print out the title page?"
  170PRINT
  180PRINT"Getting the printer going really adds to the first impression. There was"
  190PRINT"quite a lot of paper."
  200PRINT
  210PRINT"Can anyone assist with instructions for Cyklone? I think I mentioned this"
  220PRINT"last time. Most of it is self explanatory but I always think I may be"
  230PRINT"missing something if I don't have the instructions. I find that Cyklone"
  240PRINT"will backup some programmes that Image V.2 won't."
  250PRINT
  260PRINT"Was Toolstar produced in an Elk version or is it Electron compatible"
  270PRINT"anyway?  I believe that ViewStore could handle most of the requirements"
  280PRINT"for a database of software and books for the Electron.  Once I had found"
  290PRINT"all the keys on the elctron that corresponded to the BBC keys and made a"
  300PRINT"function card strip I have found that it works well. I have ViewStore"
  310PRINT"V1.1. I believe that no Elk version was produced."
  320PRINT
  330PRINT"I like the idea of having defined keys available when editing. I just need"
  340PRINT"to type the programme in. I am puzzled by the SA <filename> facility. I"
  350PRINT"understand the the only version of VIEW for the Elk is E1.00 which"
  360PRINT"automatically uses the displayed filename when SAVE is entered. Perhaps a"
  370PRINT"BBC version of VIEW is being used?"
  380PRINT
  390PRINT"Mr HeadFirst complains about his Electron's reliability. My several"
  400PRINT"machines have been quite reliable apart from the need to clean the ULA"
  410PRINT"contacts from time to time. One machine lost its BASIC and another"
  420PRINT"required the chip controlling output to tape to be replaced.  The worst"
  430PRINT"problem I have had was when the cat couldn't get out and decided that an"
  440PRINT"Electron keyboard was the place to let go.  That was a real cleaning job"
  450PRINT"and I've replaced several keys since then. Can't blame Acorn for that one!"
  460PRINT
  470PRINT"My son enjoys Sim City on his Electron and has not reported any problems."
  480PRINT
  490PRINT"On transferring programmes from tape to disc I find the *XFER provided  by"
  500PRINT"PRES's ADT utility to work well. It handles locked programmes as does"
  510PRINT"Cyklone. Both will do tape to DFS or ADFS, or Cumana's FDS which operates"
  520PRINT"with page at E00 - ideal for getting some tape games to work from disc."
  530PRINT
  540PRINT"I like the idea of someone (not me) producing a list of everything known"
  550PRINT"that was and is produced for the Electron. I have listed most of what I"
  560PRINT"have on disc using ViewStore - tapes, discs, cartridges and books.  It"
  570PRINT"would also be useful to have a list of BBC programmes that will run on the"
  580PRINT"Elk. It could save a lot of time and frustration! There is a library in"
