Mike Tomlinson: software, webspace for my previous site (astroliv).
Charles Blackburn: Webspace for my previous site (summerfield-technology.co.uk)
H.Tander, E.Bekker, E.v.Berkum, Paul Pleister: various BBC micro related software/hardware/magazines/books.
M.C.Deijn: Excellent collection of BBC stuff, many magazines in particular
Joost picked up stuff for me, donated material and loaned me stuff to scan and machines to try out (I now know from ample experience how ghastly the C64 is to work with, and how nice the Atari 800XL is (but not nearly as nice as a BBC computer of course..) ).
H.Oberman donated BBC hardware (BBC in the original brown box, cool that was the same type box my BBC B came in) & books.
Rob Lewis donated a fantastic collection of PCW (Personal computer world) mags, namely vol1 no 1 up to dec. 1983, and lots of BBC hardware (including a cool 4MHz 256K Solidisk board), software, manuals. Thanks!
Stephen Scott donated a lot of hardware (like the viglen cartridge system and complete watford disk interface kit, of which images can be found on this website), ROMs, original software, beebug mags etc. Thanks!
R. Metselaar donated various BBC hardware and books, in particular a BBC with Solidisk 32K 4MHz board. See the pictures section for images and a speed test.
H. v.d. Heijden: Atom CD: Sent a CD with scans from the dutch club magazine 'atom nieuws', software etc., and various updates, giving me a nearly complete archive of scans. It's much, much better than the Big ben club's BBC magazine 'asterisk' btw. It also puts to shame many commercial magazines like 'Interface', and 'Beebug'. Also a couple of years of the paper edition of 'Atom nieuws'...
L. Meerloo: Lots of Atom stuff, like a number of 'atom nieuws' magazines (paper is still nicer to read than scans, although the scans are quite usable), spare parts, colour board, books, various hardware.
Olaf Neumann: Some german Acornsoft BBC B software, in particular Planetoid which like some other German versions offers various enhancements over the english version.
S. de Vries: Loaned me the Prophet 2 atom variant.
D. Bell: Donated various software and books, despite my very unfriendly email.
Dave M: Swaps and much more over many years...
Vic & Iona MacKinlay brought various surplus BBC goodies, notably an eprom programmer that can handle 2532s and a Bitstik 2 upgrade kit for the original Bitstik. Cool!
Ben Bles: Bijna alle HCC nieuwsbrieven die ik nog zocht, en BBC club bladen.
C. Anselo: A start with DAI stuff: documentation and some software (that I can't use yet though, I don't have a DAI! (nor do I know anyone I can loan one from...). Quite interesting: the DAI looks like it was 2 years ahead of its time. Too bad it was always too expensive for european measures (if it was an american machine, it probably would have had a large impact).
H. ten Winkel: Books, software, documentation. Interesting is the advertisement leaflet for 'Basesnet', a dutch alternative to Econet, using the user port. Has anyone seen this system?
A.Franken: The Acheton discs I had been looking for for a long time, and hardware/discs.
J.Kortink: A couple of hard to get connectors!
A.de Ruiter: Sold me a lot of BBC micro stuff and general magazines like "Practical computing" for a low price.
M.Foot: Various book list/machine list additions.
C.Jones: 32016 2nd processor.
Mike Tomlinson: disk images with 32016 software. At the moment these are mostly untested, as I don't have any docs on the 32016 and how to use the software (compilers esp.).
P.Baltus: A bunch of goodies, in particular some Atom software and a Ti 99/4a to experiment with.
R.Kleihorst: Some very interesting leaflets. I'm about to scan them
I.Bennett: A spare Opus challenger board (in case mine packs up, it acted strangely occasionaly and it's unclear why...)
