Links to RISC OS related sites.
If you are new to RISC OS then here are a few links to sites you might find of interest
This is deliberately kept short. We don't want to overwhelm you with dozens of links to places that RISC OS enthusiasts think are wonderful but which would only confuse a newcomer. Regard these as the primary entry points to the RISC OS world and from these you will find your way to almost everything else.

My RISC OS |
Run by RISC OS enthusiast Steve Potts. Regular news items and comment.
 |
Drobe Launchpad |
Previously the premier RISC OS portal with lots of articles and lively discussion. Now no longer active but still on line so you can still read all the articles and comments and access all the useful software and links.
 |
The Icon Bar |
Now the only still active RISC OS portal though not updated very frequently. Well worth a visit as there are lots of useful links, downloads and forums.
 |
riscos.org |
Run by Paul Vigay (see below), this is an invaluable site for the 'newbie' RISC OS user. Lots of info about RISC OS in general (click on the RISC OS button on the top of the screen).
 |
Stuart Tyrell Developments |
Suppliers of USB and networks cards and systems and they are also experts in keyboard/mouse switches for RISC OS systems.
 |
Advantage Six |
Sister company to S.T.D. (above) formed primarily to produce computer systems and embedded systems using ARM processors. As well as the A75 and the new A9 they also supply the A6 range which use Virtual Acorn to give high performance RISC OS machines using cheap PC hardware.
 |
R-Comp |
Specialists in internet and games software for RISC OS and producers of Uniprint, which makes printing to a PC printer over a network or from Virtual Acorn much easier. They are also now producing a computer based on Virtual RPC, the RISCube,
 |
Virtual Acorn |
The place to go it you want to run RISC OS on a Windows PC, especially if you need the fastest possible RISC OS computer or a RISC OS portable . . . . . .
 |
Paul Vigay's web site |
Paul Vigay unfortunately died in 2009 but his peronal site (and riscos.org, see above) is still available. Despite the anti-Microsoft rants (probably justified, but a bit off-putting if you're a contented Windows user), stuff about crop circles and conspiracy theories (not all RISC OS users are like that) this site is well worth a visit.
 |
Acorn Arcade |
News, reviews, features and info about games on RISC OS. There's even a forum where you can exchange hints and tips, ask for help, etc.
 |
Acorn Gaming |
The longest running site devoted to games on RISC OS computers.
 |
The Register |
All the news and gossip about the computer industry and other hi-tech areas and also the home of the BOFH.
ROSES
The RISC OS educational resources site. Lots of software and other resources for use on Acorn/RISC OS computers in education. Primarily intended as a source of information and resources for teachers but don't be put off it you don't work in education, there's a lot of general interest items.
Nutshells
A categorised directory. Like all such RISC OS sites now it tends to be a bit out of date (though they have now noticed that iSV Products is part of APDL and acknowledge that RISC World exists) and is not necessarily comprehensive but it's probably the best there is and you could spend many happy hours clicking on links here. You'll probably find your way to most of the other RISC OS dealers and, after looking at their prices, come rushing back to APDL.
