The ELK library is where you'll find discs
for the Acorn Electron, the "baby brother" of the BBC Micro. There
is no standard disc format for the Electron (aka Elk) so discs in this library
are in the same format as BBC ones. Many programs may also work on the BBC
and be "converted down" versions of existing BBC programs. Some
will be exclusively Electron.
To play ADFS discs on a real Electron, you will need the official Acorn Plus 3 expansion pack or the PRES AP3 expansion cartridge and ROM chip. To play DFS discs on a real Electron, you will need a PRES AP4 cartridge and ROM. Alternatively, you can load any of these discs into the PC Electron Emulator "ElectrEm".
