Good morning Andrew

Looks good!
Does Linux use more than one core in this implementation?
Can RISC OS use Linux for printing? Epson EP-720 I have to use Uniprint &
a PC
Would my SSD from my ARMX6 238GB transplant into 42
Does 42 have a SD card back up facility like my ARMX6 120GB
Data & programs back up over night into 96GB periodically

Just some thoughts
Good luck

Did you mean to post this on usenet?

You would obviously be better contacting R-Comp direct to answer your
questions.

What's wrong with him posting questions here?

If someone is posting to csa.announce and setting followups to csa.misc
presumably it is reasonable to suppose that the announcement may
generate discussions and queries - which are far better answered here
because then everyone else can find the answer rather than every man and
his dog having to contact r-comp to have a 1:1 conversation.

In general a little more information on R-comp products in the public
domain wouldn't go amiss either so that can only help that!

Since it was addressed to Andrew personally, I think he had intended it to
go to Andrew

The announcement also said

"You can find out more at http://www.riscoscomputers.co.uk/4te2.shtml

If you have any questions, we'd be very happy to hear from you, and help
as best we can :)"

Its usually the moderator of CSA.announce who decides the best usenet
group for followup, not Andrew.

Err its all in the public doamin via the website for all their computers,
they also have a mailing for all existing owners of their computers.

But to answer the general questions of the OP.

Linux will use all 4 cores. No idea about the printing query.

You could I suppose transplant your SSD but you would need the correct
!Boot for a Raspberry Pi.

The final bit about backup SD card option, might be an option to be
requested.
