Dive into the world of Acorn Computers! A £20 discovery, as I journey through my Acorn Electron restoration and history.
I loved my A310 at the time. I’m not so much of a hardware person though, and I’m not sure I can get it working in the US, despite the rush of nostalgia it would mean. Main issue would be getting a monitor going with it.
@chamaeleon thanks for sharing. It’s getting very expensive getting most things for the Acorn A series of machines unfortunately. RISC OS was so good though for the time.
I loved RISC OS. I got the computer in ‘87 or’ 88, while at university. Such smooth multitasking for its time. For school work that involved writing some programs, I fired up the PC emulator in order to run Turbo Pascal. It was sweet seeing a virtual PC running in a window while doing other things in other windows. Writing graphics programs with GUIs (Acorn C) instead of just creating image files like most of the other students did was fun too.

I’m sure that someone’s done an emulator.

I have used several, the first I used was RedSquirrel which later evolved into the commercial Virtual Acorn. After RedSquirrel stopped getting updates, have mainly used RPCEmu.
