Wispy made less… wispy
And given a bit of a shine to boot. RISC OS may not have built in support for WiFi, but there are tricks that can be employed in order to benefit from wireless connectivity. One of those tricks is to run Linux on a board that does support WiFi, and hitch a ride on that board’s connection. That may sound complicated to those who lack the tecnical knowhow, but there are a couple of solutions available to simplify the whole process. One of those solutions is Wispy, from RISCOSbits, which…
RISC CE + Wispy = Wispy CE
It’s simple maths, innit? In the wake of the recent Recursion and Southwest shows, and the launch of the CE range, Ident Computer‘s Tom Williamson and RISCOSbits‘ Andy Marks have recognised a degree of overlap in some of their product range and, rather than compete, have put their heads – and their overlapping products – together.

RISCOSbits unleashes FAST Linux with ECOS5
If you have a RISCOSbits FAST system, the company is now able to provide you with a new, additional piece of kit – which doubles up your RISC OS computer, making it a Linux one as well. Easy Concurrent Operating System (ECOS) 5 was announced in the run up to the RISC OS North show, with no product available to sell at that point, only to show off on the day.
Coming to RISC OS North: ECOS5 – FAST Linux Inside Your RISC OS World
With just two days to go until RISC OS North, another announcement has landed on the virtual doormat of the relocated RISCOSitory bunker – so with no further ado, it’s over to Andy Marks from RISCOSbits:
Wakefield 2022 – show report
With no London Show today, it’s a perfect time to remember Wakefield! This year’s Wakefield show was a slightly unusual one for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the show was held around a month later than usual, on 21st May, rather than its traditional April slot – although you could also argue that it had returned to its original traditional month; the show started out in May back in 1996.

Show report: London 2019
The 2019 RISC OS London Show took place on Saturday, 26th October – and once again (speaking as an exhibitor) seemed to be a buzzing, exciting show with plenty for the visitor to see and experience. It was the 11th London Show, with the first having taken place on 3rd October, 2009, and there was a good mix of exhibitors including large well known RISC OS names and smaller home-based operators. As well as many well known faces there were new ones as well, which is always welcome – and…
Show report: Wakefield 2019
Six months on from the show itself… that’s almost as long as the Long Gap between the Wakefield and London shows! Ahem. The place to be for discerning RISC OS users (and retro Acorn enthusiasts) on Saturday, 27th April, was Wakefield – more specifically, the Cedar Court Hotel in Calder Grove – because that was where the annual Wakefield Acorn and RISC OS Computer Show took place.
