Along with the new #mirkopc from @miroslawfolejewski.bsky.social , I also received this excellent looking custom enclosure for it. It's a very solid piece of kit, to protect an excellent piece of kit! What's not to like? Even at that, I think he's planning a few refinements before release.

#RISC_OS well what a "fun" weekend spent translating my Glaze3D (a 3D framework I originally wrote for my UltimaVM in C) to Rust and integrate it with #MerlinProject a new RISC OS completely rewritten and redesigned from the ground up. It works now, and the weekend is over😂 Video with demo soon!

After an excellent suggestion at a hardware mod on the board from @miroslawfolejewski.bsky.social , I now have NVMe enabled with a Compute Module 4 and #RISC_OS on the new #MirkoPC. Not many hardware designers would put in so much time to help a niche user base make best use of their hardware.

Before multi-core PCs became normal, Hydra tried to turn the Acorn Risc PC into a multiprocessor machine. Extra CPU cards, RISC OS limits, bold Simtec engineering, and a fascinating ARM computing story ahead of its time. #Acorn #RISCOS #RetroComputing

The Acorn Risc PC’s multiprocessor dream: Hydra, extra CPU cards and RISC OS reality

The Acorn Risc PC was already an unusual machine. It was modular, friendly, clever and very British in the way it made difficult engineering look oddly tidy

The first new Acorn Replay video in probably 20 years, and it's in Super Moving Blocks format. Input is an MPEG4 HD video converted to YUV with ffpmeg then compressed to Replay with custom tooling. orig: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAg3bwzSuLk #riscos #retrocomputing

An Acorn Replay video conversion of "The One Who's Running The Show" from TADC episode 8, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAg3bwzSuLk. It looks a bit small in 160-wide.
