HCCS Vision Digitiser for Acorn A5000, RiscPC or A7000
I can't remember what the resolution was - not much. I did write a simple web cam app in BASIC to upload a pic to my website every 10 minutes.

I have Debian 3.0 (Woody) booting on a ln Acorn RiscPC 700 with ARM710 CPU.
It was a nightmare to install. Blog soon.

Absolutely blown away by a few gifts sent to me today, these are SIMM diagnostic boards, used to help with the repair of damaged motherboards (Amiga 4000, RiscPC, PC and more). Wow!
Designed, manufactured and kindly gifted to me by the legend @linuxjedi.co.uk 🙏

Christmas 1994 was wasted playing this on my new RiscPC. Stellar conversion, an absolute blast to play, and smooth as f*ck on an Arm600.

#Acorn V34 modem podule card to fit an #RiscPC / #A7000.
A RiscPC I bought in (I think) 1999 was a J233 WebWonder. The last of the remaining stock of Acorn machines, with 233MHz StrongARM and modem. Although I think this particular podule is from an NC.

I wish I could still be running RISC OS with Windows in a separate window on my modern day machines to be honest. 🤭
Love seeing a two-slice RiscPC out and about!

I wrote up the saga of booting Debian from 2004 on an ARM based Acorn RiscPC from 1994. It was a wild ride.

I know this is of zero interest to anyone else, but I ran across it and it made me feel...nostalgic. This is the logo for the webpage that was served by the first network server I ran - running on an StrongARM RiscPC with a whole 32Meg of RAM.

A huge thank you to Andy Marks of @RISCOSbits for kindly donating a custom #RISC_OS 5 ROM image allowing my #Acorn RISCPC to use #NVMe SSD natively - meaning the machine now runs entirely solid state. This build should be at @tnmoc next month & @computermuseum in November!

Today's random RISC OS factoid:
When the RiscPC was launched in 1994, it had a thirty-two thousand colour, 16bpp display mode - 5:5:5:1.
Decades later, RO5 introduced a 64K mode - 5:6:5. This was no big deal - the '94 RiscPC could already display this format. Perhaps you already knew this.
But...
