Is this another Omega? Or Portable? Is the announcement way too early? |

Have Castle ever announced a vapourware product? No. |

I was going to go to the show anyway. I wonder how they got RISC OS 5? |

They probably found it in the road off the back of a lorry. How do you think they got it? Silly. |

They did? Really? Cool, looks as if I'm going to spend the rest of the day hassling lorry drivers doesn't it. :P |

Good grief! To think I was literally just about to eBay all my RISC OS hardware and software and buy that Mac G4 I've ogling...
I'll hang fire I think. This looks good, very good. Want one. Will go to show. |

Now think about Oregano2 ... |
diomus
17/10/02 2:48PM |
I wish people wouldn't be so bitter about Oregano2, it has nothing to do with this. People who doubt this machine need their heads checked, in my truely honest and God like opinion. It should be noted that we did receive an official press release on behalf of Castle this morning.

WOW! RISC OS 5 sounds good! I hope it is from ROL rather then pace, so that all the funky Select features are included.

Another cool point is that they'll be at the SE show (Nov 2nd). Need to get Drobe t-shirt(s) printed. Muhaha.

I booked my flight to London for to go to the show over a week ago.
What fortuitous timing eh ?
Looks like an interesting product, RISC OS 5 also. It explains so much about the C++ 32 bit upgrade and much more besides.
I wish Castle well, nice one guys

Right I have an Iyonix here
percariously balanced on the
scanner due to lack of space.
It works, it looks suspicously like RO 3.7,
and now I have to network it
up and put some software on it - and a new icons set. |

Err. You (druck) sure you're allowed to talk publically about it like this? Plus we can't have you revealing stuff prior to an official launch and spoiling any reviews we might do ;p

CLT must have been laughing themselves dizzy at MD's antics. Still, 2 new computers would be better than 1. So when's the Imago due?

PS Fibble, emulating 10 year old technology on a PC is not any sort of excuse for not buying new RISC OS stuff

I am kind of hoping the new Iyonix looks more like the latest mini-itx/flexi-ATX cubes than a tower.

Don't worry I wont be spoiling your review.
And other please note, looks can be deceptive |

druck, please go ahead and spoil drobe's review! Can we just get some ball-park performance benchmarks? Maybe just decompress a JPEG on it, and on a RiscPC, see what the times are? |

Access denied!
Too bad companies have things called NDAs. You'll have to wait for the official launch.
Chris, drobe.co.uk |
AMS

I can understand that.
What we know does sound good, a stable enough platform that it can be released to developers and that means that there should be a fair amount of Software ready for it at launch.
We've been waiting years for new hardware and it now looks as if we're going to have two new machines arrive almost at the same time (or possibly three if the portable gets finished !)
Roll on 2nd of November ....
