The talk about the Acorn and RISC OS reminds me that
I've been interested in
one of these, primarily to run RISC OS. What is the recommended version,
price, and place to get a Raspberry Pi from?
Recommended version is 2.0 Model B (that happens to have 512MB; the
1.0 "B" has 256MB but those shouldn't be in the dealer channels
anymore). Everything shipping as new for months now is a 2.0 Model B
(the "A" is only starting to ship in Europe, so doesn't come into play
with US orders). Primary distributors (MCM Electronics or
element14/Newark) charge $35 + S&H for it (and sales tax if you are in
their state). Secondary distributors (Adafruit, etc) often charge $40
plus S&H and tax.
I assume I want a "2.0 Model B 512Mb"?
I've found a seller on eBay with
this and they include a case for $57.
Sellers on eBay are marking things up a bit because demand is still
higher than supply.
