I recently pgraded my PowerMac G5 DP 2.3 GHz with a WD Blue 2 TB HDD (spinner, not SSD). I had not planned to post about it, but the results were impressive enough that I thought I should pass them on. Upgrading an HDD is a fairly low impact way to achieve significant performance improvements. […]

Post Body: In a recent post, I introduced AquaFox, a revived TenFourFox-based PPC web browser. In my initial testing of it, AquaFox looked very promising indeed and so I decided to put it to the ultimate test – accessing a banking web site.

In the 17 years since Apple stopped sales of the last PowerPC Macintoshes in favor of Intel equivalents, PowerMac enthusiasts have kept the platform alive with regular software updates, new apps and more. A classic example of this was TenFourFox, a G4/G5-targeted version of Mozilla Firefox. Cameron Kaiser kept TenFourFox current for a great many […]

The next meeting of Bristol RISC OS Users (BRU) will take place on Thursday, 12th September. The group meets on an informal basis for a chat over a meal, a drink and bite to eat, so there is usually no set topic or formal speaker; it’s usually a case of discussing the latest RISC OS news and developments, and often beyond into the wider world. However, sometimes members might bring along their own latest projects – or problems – for the group to look at, and this month Chris Hall…

If you use VATGST from Kevin Wells, there is a new version for you to download.

Format is a disk formatting program. It creates FAT file systems and low-level formats floppy disks. Jeremy has shared FreeDOS Format 0.92a (a test release) with these new features: - fix failure formatting on first diskette access (GitHub issue #5) - initial translated message support; currently supports most of messages in FR and TR (some have been added since last updated) thanks to cardpuncher (Berki Yenigün). Translations are done using kitten, but in a format compatible with Tom’s kittenc implementation. See NLS.EN for all currently supported messages for translation, about 462 strings. Get the new version at Format 0.92a on GitHub.
This is a test release based on the new Format 0.92. From the August 8 announcement: Jeremy has published a new version of FreeDOS Format to fix several reported bugs, and merged a pull request adding 128KB cluster support. You can download the new version from FreeDOS Format at GitHub.
