@nickluvsretro Don't do it it. I ran it on RISCPC and crunched stuff I was never able to fix again. Bloody dangerous I reckon. I regret ever owning it.

@QtARM I use with a feeling of awe of its inspirational origins. To carve this out of raw silicon in the late 80's to early 90's is sublime frontier work.
If it had backed by the USA IT community it may have been different. Their obsession with USA products gave them closed minds. ARM!

@NoodlesTech Illegal migrants mean downward pressure on wages, and yet promote extra demand for food and housing etc, hence built in growth.

[RobW @RobW99582835]

@PaoloFabioZaino Yes, when any technology that abuses the best sides of human nature, charity and trust, and puts control in the hands of techno geeks that screw up, then screw anyone who might reveal their stupidity, is just so wrong!!!

@KevEdwardsRetro @computermuseum She was "bit savvy" right back then, able to see right to the core of programming solutions. No wonder to me, she was one of the main people to pull the ARM design from all the other possibilities.

@armbytes I wish my RISC PC would be recoverable in 2024.

[RobW @RobW99582835]

@hackaday It mostly copied it's best ideas from The ACORN Archimedes range. Application bar, multiple mouse operations, in line GUI menus and drag and drop, to name a few. GUI's weren't copyrightable back then.

@PaoloFabioZaino @NoodlesTech Xenophobia is a handy tool to win any election, if pitched carefully enough. No replacement for good governance though.

@RISCOSproject Well work in progress, I have to get my daughter through a custody case over her son first, in February. Then have the stomach to do major work. 🥴🤒

@TheMekon_Venus It's a clothes washing machine with a powered wringer on top to speed up the drying.

[RobW @RobW99582835]

@TheMekon_Venus Would they understand if you told them?

@RISCOSbits You lucky Ducks.

@AcornThings I endorse gratitude to the members who were so helpful. Very much appreciated. Rob Ward(AU)

@mjtech01 @armbytes It made the DOS networking of the time look like the crud it was.

[RobW @RobW99582835]

@matseng @HansOtten I used one as an early high-impedance signal detector when I did not have a CRO and looking for signal bursts.

[RobW @RobW99582835]

@owlart @RISCOSproject Thank you Andrew, very, very much appreciated. 6.42am here, I will check out with a ohm metre later this morning. Thanks again. I hope I can navigate X to get back to you. Rob

@RISCOSproject Sorry here is the photo.

[RobW @RobW99582835]

@RISCOSproject I could use a close up photo of the connections of four vias to the first yellow package above the corner of the battery area (looking across the power supply towards the CPU board) and in between the first Memory slot and the Video RAM slot. Even just a confirmation would do.
