With the RISC OS London Show now only one day away, here’s a last-minute announcement from RISCOSbits:
In last minute stop-press news, RISCOSbits are pleased to announce a few additions to the London Show stand.
For those of you who are in the market for a RISC OS laptop, RISCOSbits may have exactly what you are looking for at the London show! We will have VERY LIMITED stock of Linux enabled, but RISC OS capable Pinebook Pros available for sale at the London show. Whilst these laptops are not fitted with RISC OS for licencing reasons, we can demonstrate them running RISC OS to show you that it is possible and easy to do. All you will need to do is pop along to another stand at the show and purchase access to the ROM.
As people may be aware, there are two variants of Pinebook Pro – one with a UK layout keyboard, and one with a more generic (US) layout. We will have the latter available.
The Pinebook Pro comes equipped with 64GB of eMMC storage preinstalled and pre-formatted for RISC OS use.
The laptops (running Linux) will be available on a “first come, first served” basis for only £150 – remember, stocks are very limited. We also have a super bargain special offer on one with a slight donk on the top rim of the shell. Doesn’t affect the functionality, but we’ll knock a further £25 off!
Our next bit of exclusive news is we’ll be selling external antennas for Compute Module 4 systems, especially those in metal cases. Many of you will be aware that the Linux method of enabling this using dtparams doesn’t work on RISC OS, but by partnering with Stader Software, we are able to offer exclusive free access to antenna control software for RISC OS to enable the external antenna.
We’ll also have a few gold and black case badges to tell the world what’s running inside your otherwise anonymous case! And at a pocket money price of only £2.50.
And the final teaser is we’ll be bringing along some delightful Welsh slate drinks mats, engraved with your favourite OS logo. Available for just £5 each, they’re sure to make your desk look oh so pretty and er, ringless. You could even buy a set of four for £18 for your coffee table or home cocktail bar!
So ‘coast’ on over to our stand to grab yours!
