Subject: RISC OS London show - Good news about Domesday
Well, hope to see some of you at the show later today
<http://www.riscoslondonshow.co.uk> ... I'll be wearing a black cap with
'6502' emblazoned on the front, so come over and say 'ello.
Remember, southern Beeb meets are a rarity in themselves, so if you /are/ able
to get along to Feltham this afternoon, it'll be worth the effort because even
if RISC OS isn't your thing, there's going to be plenty of exotic 8-bit Games
and Hardware on display (Datacentre USB, CF-IDE, GoMMC, AtoMMC etc).
Below are links to some photos of our area from the setup day (taken at about
midnight last night!). There'll be more 8-bit stuff on Chris' Acorns
(Domesday) and probably the Centre for Computing History stall too ...

> Domesday System worked first time after about 4 years (once I had looked up

all
> the way and one LVROM is unreadable, but I have a spare which is OK. Only

> On the other hand RISC iX is looking more problematic. The allegedly
working

> so I don't know that the disc is good. The R260 without a working RISCiX
> partition, blew up its power supply. Now I will have to try and rebuild a
> working R260 from the bits....
