In article &lt;50bcb94b26rl.h...@orpheusmail .co.uk&gt;, Roger Hird <br> Many people already mentioned the harddisc. <br> I'd like to extend this to every part subject to wear and tear, <br> so include PSU fan and a possible CPU fan. FDD perhaps but <br> only if you used it a lot in the past. <br> FWIW: I got me a RPC when the 700 series just emerged and it

The A9home is the only RISC OS hardware currently in production and <br> available to purchase. <br> Alternative hardware is the Beagleboard. RISC OS 5 is currently being <br> ported to this. Visit the ROOL site for more information on this. <br> Peter Naulls <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.riscos.info">[link]</a> site contains upto date information about <br> what is happening on this and more.

At the risk of asking an obvious question - what is the latest RISC OS <br> hardware? According to CJE - the A9home is - but according to wikipedia <br> this was 2005 vintage? Are all RISCOS developments now beind made through <br> emulator? <br> Which site has the answers to this? <br> Thanks

In message &lt;50bcb94b26rl.h...@orpheusmail .co.uk&gt; <br> The reason why the feet were discouraged was that a Risc PC on <br> its side, on those feet, could not pass a topple test which <br> forms part of the mandatory safety requirements for that class <br> of equipment. <br> Dave

In article &lt;50bd183d68Spam...@argonet.co. uk&gt;, Stuart <br> I think the possible problems of the bearings having bedded in, is <br> theoretical true and may in be true of some bearings, but I don't think <br> anyone has ever been able to confirm this has actually happened with a hard <br> drive bearing.

No, but you do need the feet (or a couple of strips of wood) to raise <br> the case from the supporting desk, otherwise the ventilation grill will <br> be blocked. You also need to check that the CD drive can retain a CD, <br> when operating on its side. <br> Tony

In article &lt;50bcb94b26rl.h...@orpheusmail .co.uk&gt;, <br> Yes, I have some somewhere. <br> There were at one time suggestions that turning a RPC on it side could <br> cause issues with hard drives if they had &quot;bedded in&quot; running <br> horizontally.

I'm trying to find more space in my crowded office. <br> I think that when I bought it in 1997, using the RiscPC in tower <br> mode, as I think of it - ie sitting on its side - was an option. <br> There may even have been special feet provided. <br> Sometime since, in an earlier search for more space, I was <br> advised by someone who seemed to be an expert not to try to

Then you take it out and wash it. I've done this several times with my Canon <br> printers. If you leave it too long then the ink in the region of the waste <br> discharge tube 'sets' into a solid goo and blocks the tube, so it is worth <br> the trouble to do it regularly and it's not too messy since, as you say, <br> it's just a big felt pad.

Up to when the pad becomes saturated (which happens after a few hundred <br> head cleaning cycles), and then it will get messy. Believe me, I've got <br> the t-shirt, or rather I used to have! <br> ---druck
