This page lists hardware that may be suitable for porting RISC OS to.
Do not list hardware that already has a port under way.
When listing hardware, please list the following:
- What the device is
- Basic specifications (what CPU and/or SoC it uses, memory, storage, display and/or display connections, networking, any other connections, and a price in both the country of origin and UK pounds)
- Pros - what this hardware would bring to RISC OS, relative to other hardware
- Cons - downsides to this particular hardware
- Link(s) for further info
Think about what the hardware really will bring to the platform, or whether it's suitable for the applications that RISC OS is used in. If it's not really suitable, please don't include it. Also, please check the talk page - hardware that has been deemed unsuitable may be moved there.
