I hope you’re all sitting down for this one 🙁 Earlier today (well, yesterday, strictly speaking), RISCOSitory published a preview of the Wakefield Show, which takes place on 16th April – two weeks from now.

VGA connectors for ARMX6
It may be old skool, but some people still have old skreens. Following the recent OS upgrade from R-Comp for their ARMSX ARMX6 computer, which – amongst other things – enhanced the HDMI capabilities of the machine, the company is now able to offer a means to connect the computer to older display hardware that needs an analogue VGA connection.
Latest Drag ‘N Drop magazine is out
The latest issue of on-off-on-off-under-new-management PDF magazine Drag ‘N Drop is now available to buy. The quarterly-ish publication is mainly targeted at users of RISC OS on the Raspberry Pi, but editor Christopher Dewhurst says content will be of interest to all RISC OS 5 users.
Snippets – 7th February, 2016
It’s catch-up time again after another busy period here at the RISCOSitory bunker, folks – so here’s another batch of news nuggets that have been waiting in the wings:
Mike Cook at Wakefield meeting – 3rd February
On the menu: Raspberry Pi and WROCC cakes! The next meeting of the Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club takes place on 3rd February, at 7:45pm, and this month’s special guest is none other than Mike Cook.
