We’re back! This week, we have finished some important tasks. A new web server, much faster than before. A new FTP server, a better place for our files. A big update of our website, with smaller pages, less subdivisions, etc. But that’s not all: we also putted new emulators on line, with RISC OS 5.22. And a new offer, BootToBasic, that boots directly into Basic, with a small footprint: a simple zip of 2.4 MB. Last announce, a microsite for french users dedicated to Psion EPOC World. Not a lot of content yet here, but a light and cool ‘old school’ design (see http://www.riscos.fr/psion.html). See you soon for other news on www.riscos.fr. Let’s switch to french… Nous voici de retour ! Cette semaine, nous avons achevé plusieurs tâches importantes. Un nouveau serveur web, plus rapide que précédemment. Un nouveau serveur FTP, réceptacle idéal de nos fichiers. Une mise à jour conséquente de notre site web, avec des pages plus compactes, moins de subdivisions, etc. Mais ce n’est pas tout : nous avons également mis de nouveaux émulateurs en ligne, avec RISC OS 5.22. Et une nouvelle offre, BootToBasic, qui démarre directement en Basic, avec une faible taille : un simple fichier zip de 2,4 Mo. Dernière annonce, l’arrivée d’un microsite dédié au monde Psion EPOC. Il ne propose pas encore beaucoup de contenu, mais il adopte un design léger et ‘old school’ que nous vous invitons à découvrir (sur http://www.riscos.fr/psion.html). N’oubliez pas la liste de discussion RISC OS FR. Vous y retrouverez des discussions, mais aussi des services exclusifs : information et alertes eBay sur les produits susceptibles de vous intéresser. Plus de détails ici : http://www.riscos.fr/discutez.html. À bientôt sur RISC OS FR. |

And for those of the SIBO persuasion (series 3), there is some old info at: http://www.heyrick.co.uk/software/pb2/ …along with a “teardown”, because the insides of things are always interesting. ;-)
Et, pour les gens avec le gamme SIBO (serie 3), voir le lien au dessus – mais désolé, c’est tout en anglais… |

BTW, most people refer to the 16 bit system (series 3) as “SIBO” (SIxteen Bit Operating system or SIxteen Bit Organiser), reserving the name “EPOC” for the series 5 machines. It makes things easier than 16/32 suffixes. Best explanation here: http://www.scss.com.au/family/andrew/pdas/psion/sibo/ Update: Those interested in the old Psion machines will find this interesting. For my part, I used my organiser right up until I got an Android phone, as absolutely nothing came anywhere near; and it hasn’t been until the fairly recent release of Google Docs that a basic text editor with styles became available “as standard” with such devices. I use Docs on my iPad as well as – for all of Apple’s greatness – out of the box it doesn’t have anything more powerful than a Jotter app. [recent Apple purchasers can download “Pages”, but I was a couple of weeks too early for that offer] |

Seems to be more SIxteen Bit Organiser, dixit Wikipedia.
That’s one explanation. The other one is that they decided to use EPOC16 for old OS (EPOC32 for the new one and EPOC for both). Not very important anyway :) |
