Peter Naulls is the creator of the Unix Porting Project, which
successfully created Acorn RISC OS versions of some FOSS Unix apps
such as Firefox:

I can’t help but think that in the US, this belongs in a museum.
For those wanting to give RISC OS a try, it’s available for the Raspberry Pi
(and yes, that’s why I bought a Pi).
I would have thought that the RISC OS community would be appreciative of an app
such as Firefox being available.

Hi Camiel,
Nice to hear that you have the Convex C220 up and running.
Regarding things to run on it, starting with LINPACK is probably a good

Thanks for that. The slow start one sounds like an interesting avenue to
explore. I have been told some of the capacitors on these tend to be bad.
Finding the capacitor (if it does indeed do a slow start) will be a challenge
for me. I have been reverse engineering the schematic a bit, but some

When using modern replacement connectors with keys and marked pin 1,
the translation seems to be pin AA == pin 40.
Did DEC have an accepted mapping between the alphabet and numbers?
