This is wonderful insanity...
When your ARM powered Acorn RISC PC can have a second 486 DX4 100MHz CPU and run Windows 95 in its own window.
Retro computing is so exciting dabbling with these things it truly is!
More Acorn goodness tonight, this time with the A7000+ - Simon the Sorcerer talkie version on CD, good ol' Chris Barrie!
"Wormholes" 256 bytes intro for #riscos / #riscpc released at NOVA 2025
Write-up : https://www.onirom.fr/wiki/codegolf/wormholes/
Works on A7000, also high end Acorn Archimedes when adapted for mode 13. (320x256)
Sound fixed and RiscOS4 fully installed on the entire 32GB SD card 🤩
The machine will need a full recap at some point but for now it all works and has an assigned corner to stay set up in 😎👍

Working on an Acorn RISC PC600 which had battery damage.
Looking like this without VRAM module ... so the error must be around the onboard VRAM or it's logic.
Any hints where to start?
Today's project is/was to get the extremely rare #Acorn A680 working. Given its rarity and how I seem to be the only one with a working install of #RISCiX (which is a #BSD from the late 80s), I used the #RiscPC with #NetBSD to make a copy of the disk beforehand.
NetBSD dumpfs recognises it as a FFS variant, but rump_ffs won't mount it.
As for the A680, smoke came from the PSU when I powered it on and it didn't work
