"Extending Life of Technology" Who are RWAP Software
We use our skills and expertise of using retro computers on an almost daily basis since 1982 to assist users and those interested in developing new software and hardware. We also offer a broad range of second hand hardware and software for these computers and spares (including replacement keyboard membranes and solutions to replace dot matrix and inkjet printers). Our heart remains with
the Sinclair computers which formed our introduction to the world of
computers and have provided a means to developing some spectacular
software over time. Over the years our range has extended to provide parts
for other popular 1980s home computers and consoles, including such
classic machines as the Commodore Amiga and SX-64, Intellivision and
Vectrex consoles, and the Amstrad CPC. After all, ensuring that 1980s computer technology can still
be used and improved, helps keep with our wish to contribute positively
to the environment through recycling rather than items going to
landfill. Products for Sinclair Computer OwnersThe Sinclair computers were invented by Sir Clive Marles Sinclair, well-known British entrepreneur in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
We work hard to
increase the development of products for these computers and also to
obtain the more obscure items produced for these computers (and arrange
for them to go back into production where there is sufficient
interest). We are constantly developing new products to help keep these
retro computers alive, including replacement
keyboard membranes for a wide range of computers (including the
Sinclair ZX80, ZX81, ZX Spectrum, QL and Cambridge Z88 home computers). As part of our software development for these Sinclair
computers, we have helped to develop various high profile programs for
the Sinclair QL and PC, including Genealogy for Windows and QL
Genealogist which can both handle GEDCOM data, Q-Route (a fast and
accurate route-finder program currently only on the QL) and the first
high colour game for the Sinclair QL (QWord). We are helping to promote both the Sinclair ZX80/ZX81 and the
Sinclair QL through development of new websites, including the Sinclair
ZX80/ZX81
forums and the Sinclair QL Wiki
which help to increase the amount of information available on the
internet about these computers, and enthuse people into developing new
hardware and software products.
We continue to preserve commercial software written for the
Sinclair QL with a view to either re-releasing it commercially, or to
making it available for existing users who can no longer read the
microdrive cartridges originally supplied.
We continue to look to purchase and recycle retro computer collections for re-sale in order to help continue the interest in these computers, and are also interested in finding new hardware projects to manufacture and sell to the existing market. If you are interested, or can help with manufacturing or designing some of the hardware, please get in touch with us. In recent years, we have expanded our range of products further to address much sought after replacement parts and equipment including:

RWAP Software on SellMyRetro We continue to actively seek other partners who can help to
improve and expand this market, not only improving the rate of
recycling for old computers, but also bringing skills such as
programming and electronic development back once again into the reach
of the masses. |
