AVP Hydrology and Statistics has been archived and is now on the educational archive website.

It was not hard to archive once its protection method was discovered.

Thanks to alcresearch for the package.

Yes please. You still at the same address John? If so I'll get it in the post. Although I was watching BBC4 last night and saw a programme about the crags, so I might venture over on Saturday and push it through your letterbox! Thanks very much. Sorry I was out and missed you but was at my daughter...

Welcome, David.

Welcome, Stuart. An interesting background.

Yes please.

You are in luck, Andy.

I found this in a mass of disks I was preserving. I'll upload it to the website next week, when I get time.

Love that story! :lol: A similar thing happened to me. I was at a LEA teacher's meeting, 1987 I think it was, and a disk of software for Archimedes computers was given to all attendees along with a booklet describing all the software on the disk. One look was enough to show that most of the software...

After several years of resisting the impulse I have finally decided to post the Educational Software Archive to the world wide web. The site is still in its infancy and is still evolving. I am steadily working through the archive and publishing the titles I have online. At the moment there are about...

That is quite a list. The ones not crossed out are MIA from the archive.

Welcome.

Welcome, Mark.

Sorry I can't help with the games. All I can do is point you to eBay but they are riduculously expensive there.

Welcome, Tris.

Welcome, Chris.

I can do the Achimedes discs (provided they're not copy protected), I'm sure someone else will have a 5.25 drive for the master discs too. Plus the museum has a kyroflux for the really tricky things.

Ditto.

I shall also have a 5.25" Master setup plus Datacentre with me.

That is a clean looking issue 2. :D The ROM board can be completely removed it only has those soldered jumper leads. The best way would be to completely unplug the board and jumper leads then to place new bridging links on S20, etc. S21 should have two links both E-W. S22 should be N-S on the top tw...

Welcome, Chris.

Yep all going ahead - spoken to zombiedog over in facebookville

Will post details after Cambridge

Great!

I remember being very impressed by the operating system - even from what I could see in my friend's User Guide, it was well-organised. A world away from machines where you have to learn lots of peeks and pokes. Of course it had graphics and sound too, which you can't quite say for the UK101 I was u...

Now that is a nice piece of kit.

Welcome.

Nothing beats the feel of real Acorn gear.

It seemed much less intimidating as a care-free and fearless teenager - when did life get so complicated??!

To answer your question - when you got older. The secret is to never grow up!

This one seems more reasonable from the same seller. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Long-STD-PS2 ... SwXxha-1Hk

His auctions are very silly!

BITD that was a great piece of kit. I used it to sample MODE 0 images from He-Man tapes for my lads.

Welcome, Soruk.

Hi Mike,

Welcome.

The Master is a great machine.

They are both in my archive but due to 4Mation still enforcing their copyright they cannot be distributed. They arrived from New Zealand in the huge package of educational software that Richard Toohey and I obtained a while back. Dinosaur Discovery is a neat strategy-type game. Worlds without Worlds...

Well done, sir! =D> I remember the feeling BITD when I did it with the original release. It was the first hack I ever made. It took me two days of patiently following the labyrinthine machine code to work out that a piece of code placed values on the stack to re-direct subroutine returns and that da...
