If you want an inexpensive pen-like pointer device which acts as a mouse substitute and doesn't have all the complications of a graphic tablet try the iSV Products Penulator at its new low price of only £25
We don't try to supply everything, and we certainly don't attempt to list everything we can supply here, just a few of the more popular things. Many items are cross-platform, but with some things, like printers and monitors for example, you need to be sure that they're going to work with a RISC OS machine.
All prices include VAT but, unless stated otherwise, not carriage
Monitors.
In theory the RiscPC can use almost any VGA type monitor. However many which are ideal for PCs don't work too well on the RiscPC and sometimes they're just too good. If you're going to spend a lot on a monitor I strongly advise you to see it in action, and not on a PC, because it might look very different when you try it on your own machine.
If you want a 'budget' 17" or 19" monitor then we can offer the following. Both are very good value for money and capable of displaying the highest resolutions the RiscPC is capable of, up to 1280 x 1024 @ 78Hz or 1600 x 1200 @ 62Hz.
- 17" monitor - £139
- 19" monitor - £179
LCD monitor prices have fallen a lot. We can supply a 17" monitor capable of 1280 x 1024 resolution for just £459 including VAT. The screen on this monitor is only very slightly smaller than a 19" CRT monitor.
Monitor prices include VAT but please add £13 UK carriage
RiscPC power supplies.
We can supply re-built power supplies for the RiscPC on an exchange basis.
There are two types of power supply. The early single slice RPC had a 65 watt unit, early 2 slice machines and all later machines had 105 watt. If you aren't sure which you have look on the top of the power supply. The 65w unit is rated at 5.1 volts 7.9 amps, the 105w 5.1 volts 11 amps. Do not use the 65w unit in a 2 slice machine.
We can part-exchange a working 65w power supply for an uprated 100w unit for £54 inclusive. If your power supply is not working then, depending on how badly damaged it is, we may still be able
to supply a replacement uprated unit for the same price. If you have overloaded it (eg. if you tried to use a 65w unit in a two slice machine) then it may cost more.
