And gets off to a good start
Since late 2019, RISC OS Cloverleaf has been mentioned a few times here on RISCOSitory. It was clear from when the name first appeared that there was going to be a crowdfunding campaign, and this has since been confirmed and expanded on further by Cloverleaf’s Stefan Fröhling.

New from RISCOSbits is a new small-footprint Raspberry Pi 4-based system called the FOURtress – which, in an unusual move for the company, uses an off-the-shelf aluminium case, rather than something custom-designed. The case doubles up as a heatsink for the Pi, which allows the processor to be overclocked to 2.1GHz, yet remain cool.
Continue readingThe recent London Show, held online via Zoom, featured a number of talks by a variety of organisations in the RISC OS world – but the main schedule of presentations lacked one from CJE Micro’s, even though Chris Evans does usually book a slot in the theatre for the shows he is able to attend.
He did manage to give a brief talk after the scheduled talks – essentially after the show had closed, so many people may have missed it – but he also published a blog post on the day, which he’s described as the talk he would have given if he’d been organised enough to book a slot. If you want to read what he would have said, you can therefore do so via that post.
Well, okay, they aren’t actually calling it an Archimedes, but…
Although the first Archimedes computers from Acorn took on a standard PC configuration of a main box housing the computer itself, with a separate keyboard (and mouse) that could be plugged in, there were also some machines that combined the keyboard and computer into a single case, such as the A3000 and A3010.
And now the Raspberry Pi Foundation is getting in on that act by releasing such a device – which they’ve named the Raspberry Pi 400.

With the recent RISC OS London Show being a virtual one, taking place online via Zoom and streamed to YouTube, I decided in advance not to write a show report. Even now the event is over, it’s still possible for people to go back and watch those streams.
However, there was some news that became evident as the day progressed, both within the various talks and in announcements put out to coincide with it, so it’s worth a brief look at a couple of notable items.

This would therefore be an ideal time to remind people that RISCOSitory is able to offer mailing lists on the .co.uk domain.
Continue readingThe 2020 RISC OS London Show was originally scheduled for 24th October, but due to the ongoing pandemic, the decision was taken some time ago to cancel the physical event and instead take it online, using video conferencing software Zoom – so it’s still scheduled for that date, only now you don’t have to go to the show; the show can come to you.
