This is the software I have for RM's Nimbus PC186 machines, semi-PC compatibles made around 1985. They were downloaded from RM's BBS, but seem to have disappeared from it, so are available here.

  • Boot discs: two types, A (339K) and B (500K) - I don't know the difference between them. Includes RM Basic
  • 2Floppy (for normal DOS PCs to write the above images to a 720K floppy)
  • SetPC, to switch the Nimbus into 'IBM Compatibility Mode'
  • BBC Basic
  • Parallel printer driver
  • BBC IO port driver
  • IRETPC.COM (59 byte .COM file - possibly something to do with PC mode)
  • DOS Logon v2.00k (for RM Net LM)
  • Instructions for DOS Logon
  • RunPC186 (to allow RM's 386 PCs to run Nimbus software. Most likely this will work on any PC if the BIOS check is removed).
  • PaintSPA, an RM version of the modern Windows Paint
