Upgrade a RiscPC to full HD graphics, HDMI out, USB and RISC OS 5 from £10! PiPOD is a custom hardware design that allows a Raspberry Pi to be mounted in a podule slot in a RiscPC and A7000 and operate the two systems simultaneously - running RISC OS in a window within RISC OS. PiPOD is also an excellent way of dipping your feet into the 32bit RISC OS world without losing compatibility with older 26bit software. PiPOD comes in a variety of models, from the bare metal podule plate alone, to a fully working pre- configured system that you can slot in and go. RISCOSbits can even create a custom option just for you. If you’re worried about moving from your ageing Acorn machine to a more modern option, then this is the solution for you - it’s simply the best of both RISC OS worlds in one machine. System Requirements • Networked RISC OS machine with spare Podule slots (backplane not required) • HDMI monitor (or HDMI-VGA adaptor) for full HD graphics • USB capable mouse and keyboard for set up • Ethernet connection 10/100 (100Mbps NIC preferred but not essential) from your host machine • Access to a spare ethernet port on the same network as the host machine.
PiPOD Adapt This kit comprises the bare metal plate, plus all the adaptors, cables and screws you need to install the PiPOD in your podule slot: Pi Plate HDMI adaptors Podule mounting screws Pi mounting screws Molex to Pi internal power cable Comes with access to downloadable inter- connection software.
PiPOD Basic The very basic PiPOD kit - his merely consists of a bare metal plate on which to mount your own Raspberry Pi. Supply your own adaptors, cables and screws. This option is not recommended, but some people like tinkering! Comes with access to downloadable inter-connection software.
