R-Comp Interactive is pleased to announce the newest member of its 4te
computer family, the 4tissimo!

In music, the term "fortissimo" translates roughly to "more forte", so it
may come as no surprise that this new member takes the best of the 4te2
and adds... more!

Firstly, we should stress that "4tissimo!" doesn't replace the 4te2 in our product range. It's is a larger, even more flexible system, and naturally commands a higher price. With that out of the way, let's find out what's new....

At its heart are connections for *four* solid state discs (up to 2TB) all housed within a beautiful, unique case. The engineering is frankly
stunning, with the smooth, sturdy metal frame acting as a huge heatsink
for the CPU - temperatures are staggeringly low, even at high speeds. The piano-black side panels give a luxurious look, with the metalwork finished
to a smooth elegance.

The chassis is topped by an optional fan and a small OLED screen (which doubles as the on/off button), both fully controllable under RISC OS.
Whilst this display normally shows a status image, enthusiasts can also
harness it for whatever purpose they fancy (graphical demos and games
exist, but you could output debug info, or alarms/notifications etc).

Let's return to those four SSDs for a minute - there's a lot of
flexibility there, and you can mix them between RISC OS, Linux or both.
Why not have a Linux drive, a large backup disk and a RISC OS disk? Not a problem.

Like its 4te stablemates, the 4tissimo is powered by a Pi 4 "brain", at
2Ghz+ for super-quick RISC OS operation. As usual, that means graphics up
to 4K resolution, multiple USB ports, gigabit ethernet and easy OS updates
via ourselves or ROOL releases.

A beefy PSU is included to ensure that your system doesn't want for power
- often a limiting factor on Pi systems, but not here.

The full range of 4te software is included, with a newly updated
!4teTools providing easy control over your new system. The ultimate Pi4 machine? It very well could be!

4tissimo systems are tailored to your specification, with each machine
hand built and tested to ensure the best results. We'll have several
systems available for you to take away at the show, or you can place a
custom order for delivery later, if our "best guesses" aren't quite what
you're after.

Affordable upgrades to 4tissimo are available from 4te(2) or any competing/existing Pi4 computers or boards.

Best wishes,

Andrew
