All the holes were drilled in the making of it.

I would like too make some pcb board for a project I have got how do I going about doing this from the software I would need and were too get the boards done. I'm certainly not the most experienced person on here who's done this, I've made one board! http://www.stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f...

Part of a massive pile of scanning from a former Acorn dealer, via Dave M.

Quite a few of these are 'new' and haven't been on Chris's Acorns before.

A new version of RPCEmu is available, 0.8.15 http://www.marutan.net/rpcemu/ * All Platforms - Issue with 8MB VRAM being less stable has been resolved, code is now correctly allowed in the 2-8MB area. - ARM SWP instruction correctly handles unaligned access. - Enhancements to TLB to correctly flush c...

OK, so IMHO it's not RiscOS that has problems with USB devices but the USB keyboard implementations are different. Is that right? Yeah, RISC OS has a problem with *some* USB devices, including the one on the arduino, where it's what's known as a composite device (multiple different devices combined...

I don't get it .... Flaxcottage has RiscOS Pico running with USB. Is there a difference between the two RiscOS versions in handling USB devices? We use different USB devices for converting the Electron key matrix to a USB keyboard. Flaxcottage uses the Tynemouth Software board, costing 42 quid, I u...

I thought I'd post a little update, I've had quite a lot of success with using an Arduiono Leonardo to do the the conversion from electron matrix to USB. I took it to my local Raspberry Jam on Sunday and it survived being poked and prodded by the public. Many games of Arcadians were played :) I hope...

I had one at home, parents bought it in 1990 ish.

Don't worry you're pencilled^Wpenned in already

I found this picture of AMX Desk from an advert, did it look this good in real life? (proportionally spaced font?)

Great stuff , what days are you planning on attending ?

I should be able to do all.

Ooooh, you beat me to it

I have an arduino leonardo on the the way to do the electron keyboard to usb keyboard mapping.

I'm going to sign up for this one. I know the place cos my parents live 4 miles away, so with free accommodation from them I can't really say no

one 'route add net default 192.168.1.1 1' later

Yep, about the only 'Acorn' thing I could really see about it was the optional econet card, for DOS

Having played with one at the weekend, it's really just a bbc b+ with a 32016 second processor in CPU wise it was a good step above the Beeb, but everything else, graphics, sound etc, was back at 1981 levels.

I'd not heard much about it either, but scanning some stuff from Arcadian recently turned up the brochure.

I spent most of the weekend getting further with RISC iX. Figured out how to make multiuser mode work, hi res mono screen modes and networking (well almost, I can ping the machine one along, but no routing yet). I also dropped off a big pile of scanning and picked up some more (thankfully smaller pi...

Is you Android tablet ARM or Intel based? The Android version is for x86 Android only.

This is a list of software we need to preserve/archive.
It does not include a bunch of educational software they also have.

I've used the backend DB and looked up the BOXes each of these is in, this well make life easier

I think it's always OK to come as a no-kitter, just pay the museum entry fee

If this is for Pi, why not use the hat template? Then you can use the mounting holes to connect them together :) (I think you mentioned you were using eagle) https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=82618 https://store.altitude.tech/pizero-start-designing/ One downside, this will not...

Okay, the documentation is here. Mine is newer than the one hosted on 4corn as theirs pertains to RISC iX 1.0 and X.desktop 1.0. As far as RISC iX is concerned, I have: 1. A540/R2xx Installation Guide - Issue 1, July 1990 2. RISC iX 1.2 User Guide - Edition 2, Issue 1, August 1990 3. RISC iX 1.2 Sy...

risc ix 1.2.1c that I imaged doesn't have ixi desktop, I think it was dropped by risc ix 1.2. The desktops available are Motif (mwm) and MIT (twm)

Nice one Tim, very glad to see the scsi rip can be used to rescue the st506 machines

If there was a conversation for 15 years ago, this is it, or at least when both parties still existed.

A box and 3 folders full of docs for scanning from Arcadian, what did I let myself in for

Not very Acorny, but it should work with RISC OS on the Pi

I don't think that will ever work on a RISC OS 3.1 machine.

Hold down shift on startup to prevent the uniboot from booting. It'll just go to the desktop without loading all the bits. I did manage to run DIY doom [1] on my 4MB A4, but it's not at all fast on an ARM3, I suspect it'll be pretty terrible on an ARM250. [1] There were two doom versions for RISC OS...
