8BS Guestbook

Born in 1990 and on the internet from 05/03/1997, 8BS is for 8 bit Acorn computer enthusiasts and has over 14,000 disc images of free software. Is for PC users with BBC emulators. Produced 67 free disc based magazines and has downloads of software, pictures, manuals and stuff I have forgotten about totalling more than a shocking 65.4 gig and rising at an alarming rate.

  • 25/01/2026 Up to this date, The Acorn User cover disc TAU-84-12 (December 1984) has been incorrectly named listed as TAU-85-1. This is now corrected, so anyone that has downloaded this from 8BS may want to correct it in their collection. My apologies for this. My thanks to Dave Edwards for discovering the error and pointing it out. The ADFS version TAU-85 (the whole year in one zipped download) has always been correct, with TAU-85-1 simply not there. This download has also been updated with the missing TAU-85-1 as a separate ADFS image within the zip. TAU-85-1 now links to the correct disc image which previously was not available on 8BS. Also, added to the library today, the first 24 Acorn User companion discs. TAU-82-08 to TAU-84-07. All of this thanks to Dave Edwards.
