Acorn CDROMs

Acorn's software on CDROM

During the mid to late 1990's Acorn Computers started released some of their sfotware on CDROM allowing much larger distributions. These have previously been archived by a warez group and placed on the bittorrent network. To download these you will need a bittorrent client capable of handling magnet links e.g. Vuze.

The files are .iso format, suitable for writing back to a CD or using RPCEmu's CDROM->Iso Image feature.
