Some great memories here.

Somewhere in my parents attic is my RISC PC 600 and 486 Co-Processor card. Not sure if they also have the A3000 we had before that.

If possible, get the batteries removed from the motherboards - the leaks cause immense damage.

Rechargeable AA batteries in a battery holder are a sensible replacement.

If the hard drive has packed in then a SD to IDE/PATA adapter is available.

My secondary school was full of these in the computer labs. Great bits of kit :) The dual boot between architectures blew my mind at the time, and frankly is still pretty extraordinary. And unlike most boxes of the time, they even looked good!

School lab RiscPCs tended not to look as good as this one though - the 'Rocketship RiscPC' with integrated pizza oven and kitchen sink: https://web.archive.org/web/20050305122925/http://www.d1.dio... https://web.archive.org/web/20050207161844/http://www.worldo...

Looking for places that are good for small team off/onsites for companies that work remotely is a good solution to this problem. In general more of those spaces would help those groups too!

Been there, done that ;) tis a gem of a pub

The Mythical Man Month - important lessons for any developer

Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life - A really good read on how to write which is applicable to everyone who needs to communicate well

Producing Open Source Software - This is such an in depth book into everything you need to consider when working “in public”

Oh my, the memories (or lack there of)
