• RISCOSbits Post Show Update

    From RISCOSbits@3:633/10 to All on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 18:45:03
    Following on from the successful London Show, RISCOSbits are pleased to announce some minor updates to the website.

    The very popular slate coasters have become a regular product and are now available to buy direct from the website: https://www.riscosbits.co.uk/coasters.htm. These fantastic slate coasters
    come in two designs depending on your preference for retro or modern RISC
    OS emblems, and are available as single items or as a set of four. Custom engraved with your favourite motif for permanent, long-lasting protection
    for your desk from the perils of coffee cup rings!

    The custom USB keyboards that were on show and selling on the day have also become a 'product' albeit a limited edition one. These backlit keyboards
    are equipped with Cherry MX keys and each key is customisable with a range
    of 16m colours of backlighting, fully programmable and compatible with RISC
    OS to make it easy to emulate your favourite Acorn-era function keys. Not
    only that, you can make up whatever weird and wonderful patterns you like! Whether you prefer the red keys and colour scheme of the Beeb, or the
    vibrant green of the A3010, just a few key presses and you're there. You
    may even want to match the keyboard with that Phoebe case project you're working on - whatever you choose, it's up to you.And it's locked in for
    next time you use keyboard too! Grab one now before they're all gone: https://www.riscosbits.co.uk/keyboard.htm

    In addition to the standard website, we've updated the offers on the RISC
    OS Active Developers Scheme (ROADS) with some new development kits and
    other items. To join the scheme, go to the ROADS website: https://www.riscosbits.co.uk/roads/ to sign up, or if you've already
    joined, go to the ROADS offers page: http://www.riscosbits.co.uk/roads/pricelist/ and sign in to see the new kit and take advantage of your active developers' special deals.

    And finally, after feedback from developers and users, there is now a submission form to let us know about your working or non-working NVMe
    drives, so we can add them to our compatibility list. That said, after the latest developments, we expect more far more submissions for working
    drives, but if there are any non-working ones, we can hopefully 'fix' the issue easier, so let us know. And also let us know about other features of your working driver, especially 4K sector sizes.

    You can add your drive to the list by going to https://www.riscosbits.co.uk/nvme/SubmitDrive.htm

    Huge thanks to Bryan and all at ROUGOL for organising a fantastic show.
    Same time next year?
