  The information on this site is provided as a restoration and preservation project, and is probably the biggest source to find material about the Jupiter ACE computer. I started this site to collect all the Jupiter ACE information, software, photos, magazine articles and present it as one resource, free for all to use. The goal is to preserve and to archive all Jupiter ACE material, before this information is lost forever.

  The Jupiter ACE Archive was first created in 2004 and is maintained by Steve Parry-Thomas (AKA Steve(spt).I bought my first Jupiter ACE in May 1983 and was fascinated by the ACE's FORTH, in October of 1983 I studied FORTH at Keel University. I have collected software and FORTH related items over the years, along side other computers systems such as the Sam Coupe!

  2004 was the year I had time to sort out boxes of old magazines and material when I noticed there was very little about the Jupiter ACE on the internet (WWW as it was called in those days!). In May 2005 the a small website was publish on the net, also in 2005 Edwin Blink joined the project followed by Ricardo Fernandes Lopes in 2006 together we are the Jupiter ACE Archive Team (JAAT). All volunteers when we have time!

These days most of my spare time taken up with working on material for the archive.

Where does the material come from?

  Most is donated to the site by people like you! Alot we source from on-line auction sites, junk shops and bookshops for Forth Books and old computer magazines. We actively write to contacts in old software adverts. We also create new software and hardware and when we can encourage others to get involved to write new software titles and to create new hardware.

  None of the material, scans, tap files, on the site are to be sold or downloaded to a DVD/USB stick and resold. A number of copyright holders have given us permission for there material be listed and archived by this project alone and must not be sold as shareware or on compilation DVD/CDs and websites.
