As feared, I can only attend on the Saturday. However trains back to London run until late so I will be able to stay on for dinner before heading off

There are usually a few kids there who have a go on the games and end up getting their dads to have a go too but there was only 1 that I saw yesterday so my stand was pretty quiet.

They were all next door playing games on the AMCOG stand

Analogue joysticks FTW! So much better than those tacky digital things on inferior computers

More seriously, I suspect the analogue port got a lot of use in school (and commercial?) science labs for hooking up to monitoring equipment.

*waves* There's been two "list updated" posts since my request to come along, so I think you've overlooked me!

I'll be there from Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon, not planning to bring any kit.

I might have to leave Saturday evening, but will still stay for the meal before heading off

Looks like the riscos.info website is down. You could probably remove it from the list of package sources so PackMan doesn't try to connect to it, or just wait for it to come back up.

I'm Colin, from London in the UK.

Welcome Colin! Drop in to next Monday's ROUGOL meeting and say hello

I am based in Enfield, North London.

If you need another mouse to test with, pop along to the next ROUGOL meeting (Mon 18th March - no topic yet) and I can lend you one.

The RISC OS port to Linux is probably the new version of this and the one to support - https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums/3/topics/9068

C32 removal.

Ah yes, that's the one!

To try to eliminate the possibility that it's a hardware timing issue, remove as much as possible. Start by taking the PC card out, then maybe the VRAM, and if the 32MB RAM is two SIMMs then take one out at a time.

Bryan.

Although you don't mention it here, I think you said on Facebook that the machine does have RO3.70 so you would expect the hard disc contents to have been updated. However there might be some none StrongARM compatible bits lying around so worth trying it with a clean install. You can download the re...

Welcome!

Final reminder that the meeting is this Monday. It will also be a chance to hear about what happened at the SW Show today.

Reminder, the show is tomorrow!

With only a week to go until the SW Show, one of the organisers has just posted this over on the RISC OS Open forum: Because we are taking the two main rooms at the new SouthWest Show venue in Bristol, the hotel has offered us extra space this year at no extra cost, in a connecting suite. As such, i...

Quick reminder that this is now less than two weeks away. It is sure to be an interesting insight into the final years of Acorn. Do come along, entry is free!

I'll be attending, but probably just travel there and back on the day.

Bryan.

Hi,

Can anyone give me a lift from Fleet station to the hotel on Friday afternoon? (There is a taxi rank there if not, so no panic!)

Thanks,
Bryan.

Reading the 'Acorn MOS' wiki article today jogged my memory, isn't there 768 bytes where the 'credits' are in the rom that could be used? Yeah, but you can only read them by taking the MOS ROM out and putting it into a spare socket in another machine, because those bytes are under the I/O space. Fr...

Assuming you have RO3.1, it has DOSFS in ROM, but IIRC it only supported Fat16, i.e. partitions less than 32MB (yes, MB) in size. So you could try creating a small, 30MB say, partition on the CF card and formatting that as Fat16. Hopefully when you put that into the Arc it will be recognised by DOSF...

I'll be there, Friday to Sunday. Only need half a table - Pi plus laptop.

Bryan.

Reminder that the show is tomorrow!

Looks like there will be an ARM based RISC OS laptop, in addition to the PiTopv2. You wait years for one to come along....

I'll see if I can dig out my Kryoflux - can't promise anything as our house is currently in a state of upheaval!

Thanks. Don't spend too much time searching for it, I can always take the discs home and copy them there if required. Would just be nice to do it on the spot!

I think the others have saved me a job and answered most of your questions - thanks all! The show will hopefully be extra busy this year due to the recent RISC OS Developments and open sourcing news. However that also means it will probably get very quiet when their theatre talk is going on, so grab...
