I've got several disks with RM Nimbus software on them somewhere. They 
include Microsoft Word, and RM Logo among other stuff. There's a music 
demo as well, which is nice.

I made them for a teacher who'd 'aquired' one of the old school Nimbus 
machines, but kept copies myself. So many of them have the original 
RM-style Menu system (blue screen, selections made using F keys) to 
select programs.

It's all native Nimbus software, as opposed to BBC stuff running in 
BBC mode.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll fish the disks out and image 
them.

Tim.
