Will a webcam work with RISC OS?

Fwd: KVM and IYONIX

peter.l.d...@btinternet.com (Peter Dunn) — Mon, 12 Dec 2009 13:27:20 UT

I have been trying to use a secondhand MyHopper KMH-2 KVM switch to
provide screen, keyboard and mouse functionality to a Windows XP machine
with PS2 connectors and an Iyonix with a PS2-USB adapter into a USB port.
The adpater is brand new.
Operation is perfect for the PC but there is a problem with the Iyonix.

Digital Camera Recommendations

d_l...@lakeview.demon.co.uk (David R Lane) — Fri, 12 Dec 2009 13:39:00 UT

Hi all camerapersons,
I need to buy a digital camera for my Wife for Christmas.
I need it to work with Nixiyo, my Iyonix PC, and, in particular,
it must be capable of storing its pictures in Nixiyo via USB.
Although Wifey has a machine with satan's own OS, I would like
the option of storing the pictures on Nixiyo.

I've got one of the above which I got off my local Freegle group. I
thought I'd get around to doing something interesting with it but it's
been sat in the box for a few years now so if anyone has any use for
it, I'd be happy for you to have it.
I was told it was working but I've never actually plugged it in. You'd

Will my R260 live again?

james.hol...@gmail.com (James Holtom) — Sun, 11 Nov 2009 17:54:32 UT

Just before ripping my R260 to bits, in order to swap out the
alarmingly crusty battery, and replace the SCSI drive with compact-
flash (via a SCSI-IDE, and IDE-CF adaptor), I figured I should recover
the CMOS settings to disc, so I'd be able to get RISC iX booting
easily again...
And of course it won't start. Admittedly it hasn't been used a great

I need to replace my printer

c.n....@virgin.net (Chris F) — Sat, 11 Nov 2009 17:37:52 UT

The smoke has finally escaped from my Canon pixma ip4000.
It never worked properly with the Iyo - streaky prints and even colour
substitution with !Draw - (although it did well from XP) but I don't
think I've had my moneys-worth.
I like taking photos and want to replace the thing with something of
good quality. I also have a need for a scanner/photocopier and I think

WTB Eurocard rack for Acorn gear

twe-15...@kaspop.com (sil) — Mon, 11 Nov 2009 10:18:31 UT

Hi,
Posted before - but thought I'd check again if anyone has a spare
Eurocard
rack (of any kind). This could be just a backplane, or a Eurocard box
without
a rack, anything really.
I'm trying to re-case an expanded Acorn Atom system, that has several
cards
hanging of a 'ribbon cable' backplane and its not great, something a

What's the latest?

gofys...@wrong.address.com (lk) — Sat, 11 Nov 2009 20:24:14 UT

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

RiscPC in tower position

rl.h...@orpheusmail.co.uk (Roger Hird) — Thu, 11 Nov 2009 16:20:36 UT

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

Hello,
I'm looking at purchasing an Iyonix, so I can devote build time to
RISC OS Open.
(Basically the machine will compile a daily build of the RISC OS Open
source code.)
If anyone has one collecting dust somewhere, please get in touch.
Best Wishes,

Power Tec SCSI

bristolmoo...@gmail.com (m_o_o_k_i_e) — Mon, 11 Nov 2009 20:46:10 UT

I recently acquired a Power Tec SCSI card through a certain auction
site, which I was hoping would allow me to ressurrect the hard disk
that remains from my original RiscPC. There is a good chance the
filesystem has been corrupted, but the SCSI card did not come with the
original software and I'm having little luck trying to configure the

Saving CMOS in RPC

Hi,
I've come across this site [link] which
show you how to replace the onboard battery with a NiCd. I just want to
relocate the current onboard battery so there is no chance of leaking acid
on th motherboard for now, however before I do this how can I save my
current CMOS settings so they can be restored afterwards ?. I've looked on
