PiRO Noir ED BUTT
This simple BUTT with the same colour scheme,
footprint and basic shape as the PiRO Noir, has space
to host a 2.5in SSD and our adaptor that squeezes
nicely inside the case, and is held in place by the walls.
At only 20mm high, it sits discreetly underneath your
PiRO Noir.
The BASIC option is a simple tray that you can slide
whatever device you wish into there, including smaller
form factor drives, and even HATs. It’s empty, so it’s up
to you!
The ADAPT option is made to house your own SSD, or
even a mechanical 2.5in HDD. It comes complete with
the USB-SATA adaptor ad case itself.
Finally, the ULTRA option has the outer enclosure, the
USB-SATA adaptor and a 240GB SSD, formatted as
you prefer, to either Acorn Filecore format or Turbo
format for fster file access.

FOURtress BUTT
Add three front USB ports to your
FOURtress case
FOURtress BIG BUTT
Add three front ports and a Wispy V Wireless
Bridge device to your FOURtress.
Comes complete with a Wispy V device and
RISC OS instructions for setting it up to work
with your favourite access points.
“I’ve got a Wispy V already” BUTT
Got a FOURtress and a Wispy V already? This
special BUTT adds the three front USB ports,
and allows you to add your existing Wispy V
device into the enclosure.
BUTTs are Built Under The Top
BUTTs are exclusive add-on extensions, designed to fit under one of our existing case designs to add extra functionality, or host a range of
accessories for your RISCOSbits computer.
We hope to offer a range of BUTTs over time, but our first BUTTs focus on our best-selling FOURtress machines, and work with the full range
from the £99 FOURtress Lite, right up to the top-of-the-range 8GB FOURtress with a 240GB EDOS installation!
FOURtress BIG BUTT
The FOURtress BIG BUTT incorporates the same three front USB ports as the
BUTT but also adds our Wispy V wireless bridge unit, again hidden tidily from
sight, with the spaghetti of cabling hidden around the back of the machine.
As it remains at a slim 15mm in height, once mounted under your FOURtress
machine, it’s still subtle and low enough to slip largely unnoticed onto your
desk.
Unless, like us, you want it to take pride of place!
We even offer a special BUTT for you to add your own Wispy V (or similar
device) to your FOURtress BUTT.
* not all USB devices will work with RISC OS. Please check prior to use.

FOURtress BUTT
A simple shortfall of our excellent FOURtress machines
is the lack of easily accessible front USB ports. Most of
us can overlook this for the sake of such an excellent
and speedy machine, and the simple addition of a USB
hub resolves the issue, albeit a little bit untidily.
However, our FOURtress BUTT adds those extra front
ports in a convenient slim 15mm high “dock” that slips
under the FOURtress itself, without over-expanding its
overall footprint, and keeping the short cables tidily
hidden around the back!
With holes cut to coincide with the feet on the
FOURtress, the FOURtress BUTT will hold the
computer in place, although it can be easily lifted away
if you want to take your FOURtress elsewhere.
The three additional USB ports will operate at USB 2.0
speeds under RISC OS, but if you’re using our custom
EDOS dual operating system, they will function at USB
3.0 speeds under Raspbian OS, making it ideal for
hosting external drives, as well as a keyboard or
mouse. Or optical drives. Or anything USB, for that
matter*.
Future BUTTs
We have a range of BUTTS in development, including an SSD BUTT for our PiANO range of computers, which will hide all cables from view whilst
adding an SSD to the base of the case.
If you have suggestions for future BUTTs, we’d love to hear them! Just let us know.

adaptor and a 240GB SSD, formatted as
