This week I managed to sort out my Raspberry Pi power supply problems. I purchased a Nokia N97 UK 3 Pin Mains Charger AC-10X and this seems to do the trick. The Raspberry Pi seems quite sensitive to what is powering it.
This weekend I decided that since a version of RiscOS was available for the Raspberry Pi, I would give it a go and see how it compares to old Acorn hardware.
I know it's pre-alpha but unfortunately I have failed to get it to load. The display gets a signal so that it comes out of powersave mode but no picture, the keyboard LEDs come on and the mouse lights up, but that's as far as it gets. The screen is getting a signal but the keyboard doesn't respond.
I tried updating the boot loaders etc but this only makes things worse. With the new loaders the screen does not even get a signal and nor do the keyboard or mouse.
I'm going to give up on RiscOS at the moment and switch back to spending the little time I have for playing to tinkering in Linux until RiscOS has a more stable release.
