I had @PCBWayOfficial 3D print these tiny pieces in steel. They are replacements for the swing door spring hooks in the #Acorn #RiscPC that always snap off. They are strong and much heavier than they look! Very happy with the results. I've several RiscPC slices to fix with these.

Remember the £99 #StrongARM upgrade for the #RiscPC? Well now you can buy a whole machine that's only at least ten times faster! pihard.co.uk/limitededition… (Not to mention the extra RAM, extra storage, configurable fan, superb addons, new OS, power control...) #FOURtress #RISC_OS

Decided to up my #Acorn #RiscPC game. This keyboard just turned up, which is a gorgeous addition to it. I kinda wish I had the wrist-rest too. But I'm still super-happy 🙂

Wanted a screen mode selector for my next RISC OS project, so thought I'd re-teach myself Wimp programming. It enumerates both valid old style modes and mode definitions for your monitor, and also lets you select the refresh rate. #acorn #archimedes #riscpc #riscos #wimp

The #RiscPC is the most capable one by far and is a neat "road less traveled" in the same region the Amiga and the Atari ST's existed. The 99/4 has the distinction of being the first 16-bit desktop computer, although it's ridiculously crippled.
