This one is for my fellow Brits: RISC OS returns on new cheap hardware.

Still early days of course, but the specs are interesting:

720MHz ARM CPU
PowerVR graphics
256Mb of RAM onboard
Ultra small form factor (nano itx or thereabouts).
RISC OS5

Price? £120

Hmm, anyone else here something that sounded like the pin being pulled on a grenade just then? ;)


Meh, it's a beagleboard, I got one, and I run Ångstöm Linux on it :) The board is nothing new, it's beena round for quite some time, I bought mine  mabe 2 years ago for development for the Pandora :)

UAE will be slow on it. But VICE shall fly.


Nah. the Pandora port of UAE runs OCS/ECS games fullspeed so I see no reason why the Beagleboard should be slower, but then ofcource you need to have Linux installed on the beagleboard :)

A quite nice online builder of Ångström :)
