A fun trip down memory lane, with a short (August 21-28) retro computing exhibition in Kingston-upon-Thames.

Rate my setup!

First of all - RISC OS is extremely quick and responsive, even on this first gen Pi! I really love how it feels! The main challenge is how different it is from other OSes, but it feels really consistent and well designed. It also needs a 3-button mouse.

NetSurf struggles with many netpages (which is why I pointed it to the custom URL of my blog). However, this is all operating in 196MB of RAM. The original Pi had 256MB of RAM in total and I don't think it's possible to allocate less than 64MB as display RAM unless it's used completely headless (no graphics output at all).

Unfortunately composite output is interlaced so there is an annoying flicked of all thin horizontal lines since they only get drawn on one half frame. I will have to check whether it's possible to have fully progressive scan, otherwise this is not really usable.
