I'm going to RiscOS North tomorrow, looking to see what I can modify and upgrade on my Acorn Risc PC.

I thought about bringing a portable monitor with me, but couldn't find my VGA to HDMI adapter, so gave up on that idea, and just decided that I'd bring the carcass of the machine to do some troubleshooting with the RTC battery circuit, and at the show I could actually try fitting anything I buy.

I got into my hotel room and discovered that the TV had all the display inputs, so...

It's Alive! (Mostly)

@armbytes
I intend to be there, probably looking for someone who can suggest what I need to do to fix my Risc-PC.

Due to an undetected issue in the build pipeline last night this weekend #RISC_OS ShareFSServer alpha builds did not get on the distirbution server, my apologies to all the testers.

The issue is now resolved and build 0.1.3 is available for testing using the usual URL.

Thanks.

In less than two weeks, the air will be filled with nostalgia and, no doubt, a few surprises at this year's premier computing exhibition, Warrington, UK. Check out the informative article, highlighting some of the exhibitors:

#RISC_OS, what this weekend update contains you have read it on the ROOL's forum post, but how does it looks like Screenshots! ๐Ÿ˜†

RISC OS 3.10/3.7/5 Using very long file names, and getting #MacOS , #WIndows, #Linux and #BSD Unicode translated (where possible) to Latin1, now how cool is that?
