Hi,
I picked up an Acorn RiscPC 600 base unit the other day, my first Archimedes-
type Acorn machine.
Anyway, I have a few questions. Perhaps someone can point me to a decent web
site about the Acorn machines?
- I'm assuming the RiscPC 600 uses an Archimedes-type mouse. This should not
be a major problem, as a simple pin-to-pin adapter should allow a three-
button Amiga mouse to be connected.
- Can I use a PS/2 type PC keyboard, or is a custom Acorn keyboard needed?
- Before powering it up, I want to remove the hard disk and create an image
file of its contents. The CD-ROM drive needs to be removed in order to get
to the hard disk. I can't see how to do that. Any ideas?
