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.

Got this prototype beast from @miroslawfolejewski.bsky.social on my workbench and it's going brilliantly, with CM4 and especially CM5. I'm looking forward to this project getting some more love and development after the designer's well earned summer break!

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
