Wouter's pages: BBC micro: links

I'm not trying to be complete, I just list some useful websites.

1. The BBC lives! [ software, documentation ]
2. BBC Micro and Electron games - The stairway to Hell [ Tape files, tape and disk covers of the actual games ]
3. The BBC games archive [ Tries to list and review all the known games... ]
4. www.sprow.co.uk [ Second hand BBC hardware, and very impressive new BBC hardware, available ready built or to DIY ]
5. www.c.r.dewhurst.freeuk.com/bbc [ BBC books in html, pdf and more formats. The pdf's are very impressive! ]
6. BBC documentation project [ Scanned and/or OCR'ed documentation. Some useless due to being in some weirdo doc format ]

There was an 8 bit emulator mailing list, and a BBC micro mailing list still exists, but I don't recommend the latter any more due to the low signal to noise ratio (perhaps the archives are of use). It's got so bad with moronic posts there in 2006 that I unsubscribed. On watching Blake's 7 again I noticed a comment by Avon which perfectly describes the situation here. I could have posted a message with exactly his words: Staying with you requires a degree of stupidity of which I no longer feel capable...
