Subject: Opus Challenger 3in1 floppy drive

Hi

I'm new to the BBC mailing list, as well as to the BBC emulation thing on 
the PCs. Anyway, I'm looking for anyone with some knowledge of the Opus 
floppy disk...ie Is there any software out there that will copy these types 
of floppies to an image file or read these image files, has anyone made a 
copy of the challenger rom. I suppose I could do these myself, but really 
I'm after users that used the Opus, as it was one of the better disk drives 
on the market.

I also had the Replay system on my BBC B, is there any "talk" about this 
system anymore, has anyone tried to incorporate it into any emulator?

Another question...are most of the BBC games available on files for the 
emulators. I ask because I have about 90% of all the games that ever existed 
for the B on the BBc, so therefore I probably don;t need to convert any of 
them across to images files. If anyone is still requesting any files, try 
me, I may just have them.

I have been to some of the BBC sites, and have noticed that the Acornsoft 
and Superior games are still copyright, anyone willing to tell me where a 
site might have some of the files, or send me some...only asking.

thanks

Steve

I haven;t used my BBC for years, so I most get to use it again.
I had tons of stuff, unreleased games, copiers: tape to disc,
disc to disc, software that managed to copy the best protected
games on the market.
