Couldn't remember what Zarch was. This triggered my memory.
They are all in my bookcase. Must set up a nostalgic Zoom call with them in the background.
My RiscPC is still plugged in and working.
I mainly run RISC OS in VirtualRPC-AdjustSA.

Acorn/Bobp. Great to see you've still got your original machines and software. I had an Acorn Archimedes, gone now, can't even remember how!

the hardware has gone - I still have this plastic case that was bought for 5.25 floppies, still use it for CD's, although they are now virtually obsolete:
yes that is a quad valve [tube] amp behind it - some things persisit, although it is a modern version, more like a leak circuit-wise based on el84

PS - what I don't have is a garage - got a loft, but god alone knows what's up there....

Continuing the nostalgia theme. Found at the bottom of a filing cabinet rather than the back of the garage
I still have my IYONIX for running RISC OS

And also lots of other retro computer stuff

Never heard of the IYONIX Gary.
Strange what we keep.
Here's a Casio PB-100 which I used back towards the end of th 80's. You could write programs for it in Basic. I wrote one to quickly attain the ships stability status. It was excellent. Just ordered some new batteries for it to see if it still works.
I recently installed RiscOS for RaspberriPi. Artworks is still being updated. I haven't purchased it yet due to issues I'm sure everyone in the US can relate to right now :( However, it is on my to-get list. As an American, I'm very new to RiscOS, but have been enjoying playing with it here and there and installing it on Pi is nice due to the history of the ARM and RiscOS being intertwined.Quote:
