What to do with my spare Raspberry Pi's

[PhilC]

What about using the RPi as a souped up Archimedes?

That's an interesting idea Mrbombermillzy, I might give that a go just for fun

Well, you know, the Raspberry Pi... its got Archimedes blood running in its veins!

If anyone gets it all setup on a RPi please can they host it.
Looks like i tried it in 2015 and had issues then trying to get it all to work

If you mean a working RiscOS, I seem to have made a microSD card with an image that works in the RPi 2B v1.1:

Im not sure if this is the full Archimedes emulator, or just a patched RiscOS for the RPi.

I just literally found it whilst trying to see if my Pi1541 was busted. The SD card was in a spare 2B I had in a drawer. No Idea where the original image came from.

Well I've got most of the Raspberry Pi's sorted or sold.

I've got a PiStorm for an Amiga and an ST to build, that's two done.
Got an MT-32 Pi hat coming at some point.
I'm using one of my Pi Zeros as an RGB2HDMI for the Atom, just waiting for the PCBx to arrive from JLC.
Got two Been RGB2HDMI boards assembled as well.

So there's only three left, a Pi model B, a 2B and a 3b.

My Pi5 has been mounted in a mini desktop tower type case and will be my retro gaming / MAME console once I finally get it all configured.

Next I have to find a use for some of these Raspberry Pi picos I have.

Can I ask where your MT32 hat is coming from? I've been looking to build one myself and kind of stalled.

FYI I've used a Pi Zero 2W for my A500 PiStorm, it's small but plenty powerful enough for the task at hand. Not sure if you're planning on an RGB2HDMI for the A500 or already have one, but IMHO it's a great partner for the A500 PiStorm and Caffeine OS.

@rubber_jonnie do a search for mt-32 on eBay and you should find it pretty quickly. Be careful not to get the Mistery ones as they are hats for the Mist console thing.

Thanks I'll give that a go.

Managed to find one thanks

Is there a specific SD card image you're going to use for the Pi?

I've not got as far as that yet but will happily share it when I do. I've also got a flamethrower coming too for the Amiga.
