• Notes

  Infra-Red is capable of mapping any *Command to any button for the remote, with a maximum of 5 commands per button.sensor is from an Online Media SetTopBox, but wired to the parallel port.was remotely controlled by wiring the enable line for the pump to an interrupt pin of the parallel port.also had an interface to the control Audio CD-ROMs fully, including ejecting and closing of the CD-ROM drawer, and volume control independant of the main soundsystem.

  5.25" Floppy Drive allowed BBC software to be run directly from floppy using !6502Em and !ImageDFS from Warm Silence Software. A new application was written to allow the Remote Control to function with the RiscTV cards.software could change channel on the TV, open, close & resize the 4 RiscTV windows, and alter the volume levels indpendantly of the main soundsystem.

  The Rocket Ship backdrop was created in PhotoDesk2 by Alastair France of ART. The 2GB SCSI Drive was DOS formatted and used exclusively with the PC Card. The standard demonstration used during Acorn World was 4 RiscTVs running together, 3 Replay movies multitasking together along with Artworks resizing and rotating the Midget image without slowing down the Replay movies.
