I know what will cheer me up. A nice game of P.B. Bear's Birthday Party on the #Acorn #RiscPC. It does say it'll run on any ARM 3 computer too, but I don't have a CDROM drive for the A440/1 #RetroGaming

Our #Acorn #RISCPC #RaspberryPi #retro refit rebuild series continues.. with part 4, this time working out how original peripherals are going to work in a modern #USB world??? youtu.be/pY1atxNNmBk
An Acorn A7000+ with a standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse, some stereo speakers, a Gotek drive and a yellowed CD-ROM drive fitted. On top stands an Acer flat screen 4:3 monitor.
Some retro related stuff I've been up to since I was last on here...
1. A7000+
Fixed the audio circuit, recapped where needed, installed Risc OS 4 and played Simon the Sorcerer (with Chris Barrie's voice over too!)

Today’s #RetroTrio offers you #Atari #Falcon030, #Acorn #RiscPC and #TRS80 #CoCo. Which will you keep, gift to a friend and delete forever? #RetroComputing #ComputerHistory #RetroGaming #VideoGames
The internals of a very old computer with thick multicoloured power cables
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 […]

Variable success with #NetBSD on #RiscPC. Had to use -8 because of toolchain issues. Install kernels kept panicking seemingly randomly, I realised this was when it was trying to beep because of a certain keypress! Distribution kernels panic, but building my […]

Today's project. Get #NetBSD installed on the #RiscPC on some form of storage. Requires a different Ethernet module as the i-cubed EtherH is not supported #retrocomputing

A new #ESP32 project: I want to build an #USB to #PS/2 adapter in order to include my old #Acorn #RISCPC into my KVM switch setup.

I am struggling with the USB implementation of the ESP32. It seems to have problems with hubs and devices that send 16bit values.

A RISCOS filer window showing a copy of !LanMan98 in a LanMan98 share demonstrating that it works.
Since I upgraded to Samba 4.20 on my #NetBSD fileserver, my #RISCOS #RiscPC was no longer able to open files for writing. Did a quick search and found that #LanMan98 was open-sourced in 2021 and I'm pleased to say the latest version works brilliantly. #retrocomputing

HCCS Vision Digitiser for Acorn A5000, RiscPC or A7000
I can't remember what the resolution was - not much. I did write a simple web cam app in BASIC to upload a pic to my website every 10 minutes.

#Acorn V34 modem podule card to fit an #RiscPC / #A7000.
A RiscPC I bought in (I think) 1999 was a J233 WebWonder. The last of the remaining stock of Acorn machines, with 233MHz StrongARM and modem. Although I think this particular podule is from an NC.
