Buy-back launch from Acornsoft

ACORNSOFT has launched a buy back system to enable owners of Acornsoft cassette based programs to exchange them for equivalent discs for 50 percent of the usual cost.

In the past, most people who bought a BBC disc drive were unable to transfer existing Acornsoft cassette programs on to disc and consequently had to buy a disc copy of the program.
This situation, which is a common source of complaint among owners of many micros besides the BBC, is partly remedied by the Acornsoft exchange scheme.

If you send Acornsoft your cassette version of any of their programs they will send you the disc equivalent, providing there is one, for half price. Thus Starship Command which costs £11.50 on disc, can be obtained for £5.75 if you send your old cassette version with the money.

The deal only covers Acornsoft programs and orders should be sent to Disc Replacement Service, Acornsoft Ltd, do Vector Marketing, Denington Industrial Estate, Wellingborough, Northants NN8 2RL.
