Light shined on Omega USB By Chris Williams. Published: 22nd Feb 2005, 00:22:56.We are not making this up Updated at 17:26 22/2/2005
Earlier today we broke the news of an Omega demonstrating 'working USB support' at a user group meeting. Microdigital customers Bryan Hogan and Stewart Brookes reportedly showed off a StrongARM RISC OS 4 powered Omega with a working USB device. It appears we've been stumbling in the dark - only now have we learnt what the USB device was. Yes. You got that one right. A USB powered light. It simply plugs into the socket, bypassing any need for a working USB software stack. We tried thinking of some puns, but forget it. We're lost for words. A source at the evening yesterday in London whispered: "Other devices that are likely to be compatible are fans, battery chargers and, it would seem, USB toothbrushes." ROUGOL have promised us pictures. Oh the excitement. Links Microdigital's illuminating website Discussion Viewing threaded comments | View comments unthreaded, listed by date | Skip to the end

Featured articles The weekend's RISC OS event has been and gone and we've got the rest of our lives to look forward to. Here's a round-up of extra news and Drobe's show-related coverage and some photos taken from Wakefield 2009 - plus a video from the show floor. 16 comments, latest by AW on 29/4/09 7:41PM. Published: 27 Apr 2009Picture exclusive - This grainy photograph shows a port of RISC OS 5, sourced from the RISC OS Open project, running on a Beagleboard - a device powered by a 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor with a built-in graphics chip. The port, developed by Jeffrey Lee with help from Uwe Kall and ROOL staff, is seen as a major breakthrough for the shared-source project as it proves the OS can be ported to new hardware without the need for a large team of engineers. 75 comments, latest by rjek on 30/4/09 3:15PM. Published: 25 Apr 2009It can be a pain when someone sends you a file that can only be opened on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux - but with the help of a free-to-use website and NetSurf, Paul Stewart reveals how these documents can be viewed on RISC OS. 6 comments, latest by AW on 8/5/09 12:12AM.
