Bryan.

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.

I spent an hour or so last night traveling from Qutiri to Isinor to Qutiri to Isinor to Qutiri to Isinor to Qutiri to Isinor to Qutiri ... I've always traded while exploring the galaxy, never visiting the same planet twice. Makes it more interesting trying to find a profitable trade route, and with...

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...

Reminder, the show is this coming weekend. Come along and support your fellow StarDotters! I've fired up my Domesday system tonight and it seems to be working albeit slightly temperamentally. If it's still okay in a couple of weeks, I'll bring it along... Fingers crossed. If it's okay, my daughter i...

Do you have a roadmap anywhere? See Mathew's slides from this ROUGOL presentation - http://rougol.jellybaby.net/meetings/2018/jun.html why not just have it all in the same folder as the emulator and allow the user to simply drag that folder from the DMG to wherever they wish to install it? Sure, it...

Reminder, this is tomorrow!

Right, just over two weeks to go (eek!), anyone else want to a stand? We will be finalising the stand layout at the next ROUGOL meeting ( Acorns in Aerospace , Monday 15th October - come along!) so you have a few days left to grab one. I think we currently have: tricky - loadsa games :-) RobC - Vide...

Is it going to be recorded/transcribed?

Not sure yet. I've asked Paul Emerton (Keith's son) as he runs a video production company, so would be the obvious person to do a good job recording it!

A bit of a long shot, but is anyone able to bring along a Domesday system, as I don't think we've ever had one at the London Show? Or maybe one of the "emulated" versions that use a PC pretending to be the laser disc player? Impressive bit of digital preservation!

Thanks,
Bryan.

I'd like a stall please - happy to share again like last year or have one to myself... Excellent. I've put you on the show exhibitors list under VideoNuLA, let me know if there's anything you want changed in the description. That's not far from Oxford so I will come along definitely as a visitor. I...

It just takes someone to organise it. Preferably who lives in that part of the country. I am sure Bristol would be quite a good one, plenty of people around there. The SW Show is moving to a new venue next year, The Arnos Manor Hotel, which is closer to the centre of Bristol. From my brief visit th...

RISC OS Pi still has the Econet code in it and even prints "Econet hardware not found" at every boot!

This year's RISC OS London Show, with added ABUG meetup, is taking place on Saturday 27th October 2018, at its usual venue of the St Giles Hotel, Feltham, TW14 9AD. Entrance is £5 with under 16s free, open 11am-5pm. http://www.riscoslondonshow.co.uk/ Cost for an ABUG stand is just your entrance fee,...
