sure mine is not Watford Electronics... the title "Beebug Archimedes Serial 
link" on the actual disk label feels very strong in my memory. I will try 
and check tonight in by old box of disks.  ..... Pause while surfs....There
was a Beebug serial link according to some posts on Usenet, so I'd warrant
that's what I have as I can't think why I'd think that otherwise. I don't
remember the Watford one.
Just to follow my own post up, yes it is the Beebug version, disk labelled
as being 1990.
