Hello from Surrey

Post by Roxy »

Hello all,

I recently inherited a lot of Acorn hardware and floppy disks from my dad. I remember playing some of the games in early childhood, but most of it is a mystery to me. So I'm very much just starting my Acorn journey now. Looking forward to learning a lot!

I seem to have an Archimedes A5000 and 310, and possibly an Electron, but I'm not sure if they still work. I've also been poking around with Arculator, but I think I need to dig out the Archimedes user manual as I don't know how to do anything yet...

Nice to meet you all ☺️

welcome! i would advise taking out the batteries in both the archimedes (if not already removed) as they like to leak and damage the system.
