Oh! for now has wifi and Ovation Pro bundled... I wrote all of my university essays in Ovation, now if only I'm able to recover them from the old Risc PC to a Pi... this is great! https://www.riscosopen.org/news/articles/2024/04/27/risc-os-5-30-now-available

@scruss Sad to hear this. WiFi on a Pi400 has a Broadcom firmware issue according to the following: https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums/11/topics/19277?page=3#posts-149990

@andypiper I too had a great experience using my Acorn Computer for writing at University- TechWriter. My RISC PC is still around, networked. You might find an IDE to USB caddy a potential solution for transferring data. I bought one online a long time ago. I settled on a Pi4 as my go-to replacement, originally with a separate SD card and USB stick, now an SSD. 🚀

@andypiper I'm envious, it was a daily floppy disk, zip-split affair. Talking portables, with all this talk about the A4. Have you seen the RISC OS Pinebook Pro? I'm on the fence, but always wanted a decent RISC OS laptop.
