The next online meeting of the RISC OS User Group Of London will be:

RISC OS in those StrongARM days
Presented by Mike Stephens, ex-Acorn and Pace programmer

Monday 21st June 2021, 7:45pm

Online via Zoom, meeting open from 7.30pm

http://www.rougol.jellybaby.net/meetings/


Mike Stephens worked at Acorn from 1994 to late 1998 as a Principal
Programmer. He left Acorn soon after Phoebe & Ursula were cancelled.
About 2 years later, he rejoined colleagues at Pace to work further
on RISC OS. His talk will be a mix of reminiscing about late-Acorn
and some low-level technical details.

Some things that he worked on include:

- Assisting ARM with validation of prototype ARM 810 processor
- RISC OS 3.7, the substantial low-level OS update to support StrongARM
- RISC OS 4/Ursula kernel for Risc PC 2/Phoebe
- Hardware abstraction and 32-bit-clean plans for RISC OS at Pace

Michael left Pace soon after they cancelled all RISC OS work, and is
excited to see there is still a love for it and that there is active development after all these years!


This meeting will be held online via Zoom. Please contact us to receive
