Grafpad

mar...@uksupplyonline.com (Martin) — Wed, 09 Sep 2001 15:18:53 UT

Hello
I'm looking for a product called Grafpad, that was made by British Micro
around 1984-1990 ish. It was a Graphics Tablet type package and was
available on both the BBC Micro and the Spectrum.
I urgently need one of these and am willing to pay, even if you only have
the manual, a copy of it would be great.

*Printer* ports in early machines were unidirectional. Printers are not

If it's a parallel port then why can it read info from the acorn? I thought
parallel ports of that age were usually unidirectional.

Does anyone know a way to link up an old acorn (either BBC or
Archimedes, I'm not sure what kind it is) Concept Keyboard to a PC? You
know, the kind of configurable keyboard that is used in schools and the
like. I understand it used to link into something called a "user port",
is this roughly (or even vaguely) equivalent to a PC serial port? The

as paul said, once you start writing files again, you're likely to overwrite
any trace of your files on the disc.
anyway, you surely just install from your last backup ;-)
you'll know for next time!

thanks Paul, tried it didnt work. I wrote a few files before I got your
post.
Luckily programming is just a minor hobby now, maybe 3hrs a week now
compared to about 30-40 in 94-98.

If you know some unique text strings that might be contained within your
data, you can use my Disc Commander application to search the surface of
the disc for the physical data, then using the markers, mark the beginning
and ending of what you think your files are, then save marked block to
directly read data off the disc and save as a new file.

I know I'm barking up an empty tree here, but last night I deleted my entire
Development Folder from my hard drive and didnt notice until this afternoon.
it had about 5 months of source code in there. Is there ANY possible way of
recovering some of that data?
I used to have LookSystems Recovery Suite but lost it years ago.
