pickup from Banbury Oxon
I am getting rid of the remainder of my Acorn Risc-OS hardware, software & Documentation due to Space problems. I have sold what I can but the rest listed below is still to be disposed of.
To avoid it all ending up in landfill I am willing to let it all go as one package free if someone picks it up. No cherry-picking- I mean all of it.
THE following is a list of what is in the package.
1 x Acorn A5000 RiscOS computer (no keyboard or monitor)
ALSO NOTE: It is not working – I do not know why. It was working a few months ago. I had a flat screen monitor connected to the VGA port and it worked perfectly. Played games and other software fine. Then a month or so later it seemed to power up but no signal to the monitor. If plugged into the mains the computer powers up the fan – It COULD be all it needs is a new motherboard battery (new battery enclosed in separate packet.) but about this time decided to get shot of all my riscOS stuff.
2. This Item is a Box of "40+ 3.5" diskettes" .
Quality of diskettes in some cases unknown but I have read some of them and had no failures
3. This Item consists of 1 x VHS Video Cassette titled Welcome to the Learning Curve" and
Audio Cassette pack (unopened) titled Your Introduction and Guide to RISC OS 3"
Both of these produced by Acorn. Seems to in good condition but unopened ergo untested
4. This Item is a For a collection of for "Ten ARCHIVE Magazines".
One of them seems to be what may have been the first issue of this magazine.
They are in very Good Condition.
5. Interdictor II Flight Sim Game. This Item consists of 1x 3.5" diskette holding the" software for the game, User Guide and Mission Plan all in the original Folder"
Seems to in good condition but untested for years

The Midlands RISC OS show is coming up soon (July) and we have a charity
stall.
If you are unable to bring it up yourself to Kenilworth, I could come down
and collect it.
