The Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club (WROCC) will be holding their next meeting on Wednesday, 3rd September, with a two-part talk from Chis Johns on the subject of RISC OS file storage.
In part one, Chris will look at Filecore, the standard format used by RISC OS systems, with an explanation of how it all works, and for the second part he will be looking at the BlockDevices system, an attempt to ‘modernise and modularise’ disc access, covering why it was created, and how it works.
The start time for the meeting is 7:45pm, and it be held online using the Zoom video conferencing software. The only things you’ll need to join are a system on which Zoom can be run, and the meeting credentials. These remain the same as previous meetings, so if you’ve attended any monthly WROCC meetings you should have them, but if not they can be obtained by contacting the group.
Although the meeting is open to any RISC OS user, regardless of WROCC membership status, it’s well worth supporting the group by joining; the cost is just £10 each year, and you get the group’s self-titled monthly newsletter sent to your inbox as a PDF file, along with access to their online discussion forum.
You can also find recordings of previous meetings on YouTube, linked from the Meetings page on their website.
