A bit of a wasted afternoon, but I managed all this with two CM4001008s (and a completely unnecessary 256GB NVMe drive).

Why not run a low carbon footprint operating system called RISC OS? Just one creative example of how you can make efficiency savings for @earthshotprize.bsky.social from your armchair. #ArmPowered

A screenshot of RISC OS 3.1 running ArcWeb, a web browser from the mid-1990s showing the Wikipedia page for RISC OS displayed using FrogFind.
Today's fun fact: Browsing the web on an Archimedes (real hardware, not emulated) with ArcWeb is very much still possible!
(Bonus hat-tip to @actionretro.bsky.social for creating FrogFind to make pages usable on old systems!)

RISCOSbits releases new ECOS systems for Windows, Retro and Fileserving
www.iconbar.com/articles/RIS...
RISCOSbits have announced some new systems in their EOCS range (we have previously looked at the Linux version)
ECOS11 is a new Windows #Companion for #riscosfast and ITX cases to integrate #RISC_OS and Windows into a single system.
But it isn't just a sidekick to FAST, it can also fly solo whilst working in formation with #RISC_OS!

NEW! ECOfile. Using ECOS technology to create the ultimate file store for RISC OS (and Windows, MAC, Android, iOS, Linux...). Made for RISC OS. Is it a NAS? No, it's so much more than that...

Koi-Koi for RISC OS by Rick Murray www.riscosopen.org:8443/forum/forums...
• plays at a slow/realistic pace due to lack of auto-matching
• CPU AI is simple, elegant and effective
The UI is very RISC OS-centric: it uses three mouse buttons (Select, Menu, Adjust) and multiple windows.
Nice.
oh boy, lots of #RISC_OS code, lots of it! lol But I had a fun weekend, plus @vincemh.bsky.social commentary on the EV is priceles as usual. Pushed all the changes for this weekend and all RISC OS activities will resume the next one! time for some sleep! :)
