Have you tried posting this request on comp.sys.acorn.hardware or riscosopen? Not sure there are many RiscPC users here!

If you find a bare slice and just need pins, let me know - mine are not much use now the case is four-slice! That said, unless you need to move the machine often or want to mount it on its side, the pins are unnecessary. Gravity is free!

It needs to stand up and looks at its own feet in order to look like a tower :D

    * RISC OS 4.39 in ROMs (working)
    * StrongARM 233 processor card (working)
    * 4 Podule backplane (working)
    * i-cubed network card (untested, responds to *Podules)

    * IDE CD ROM drive (untested, but drawer opens OK)

pros:
2 slices and locker pins !!!!!!!! YeAhhhh !!!!!!!!!
v4.39/adjust in ROM, even if I have already bought & burned mine

cons:
Cmos battery leakage (to be removed for the sooner, it's corrosive!!!)
poor ram as both DDE & gcc take up to 24 Mbyte of ram, but I already have a 128Mbyte set (2x64Mbyte) ready to be installed

the shipping price is ~£34
I doubt the final price will stay under the definition "good deal"
but I'm tempted 'cause It might be :D

Hmm, maybe I should consider selling my surviving Chalice CATS board (233MHz StrongARM in ATX form factor)... ;)

I do not know your board, never heard, even if it sounds interesting :D

there is a precise reason for my RiscPC: the Gemini Chip !
It allows the use of a x86 PC card under MSDOS v6.22!
powered with a 486DX4@100Mhz and able to fully access the parallel port(1) and serial port(2)

these two are perfect to convert the RiscPC into a solid and useful 332 development station!
more comfortable than a genuine DOS station!

the alternative is OS/2 Warp3, which allows a fully DOS emulation
while Windows 95 and XP fails the the 332 software, already tried

I have an original SierraC toolchain, plus a full BDM set of tools (hw debugger)
and as "bonus" RiscOS offers a pretty and simple way to develop interfaces

in this case the last DDE is required

I need the second slice in order to install my 332 board inside the RiscPC(3), as I like to have a compact solution on my desk!

(1) used by the BDM engine
(2) used by the TAP engine
(3) it has been mooted inside a box with has the same form factor of a CDROM drive in 5"1/4

It seems that dudes @ cjemicros have some used RiscPC second slice kits in stock!
their kit includes: Acorn Risc PC used second case slice, two slice Pins, EMC Gasket, and feet for vertical mounting
(a bit expensive, 55UKP, plus 13UKP, ~70UKP shipped)

Or maybe not .... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RISC-PC-600-U ... Sw5dNWrl-M (though interesting to see if it actually sells at that price!)

If you are still looking for the second slice, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Risc-PC-Secon ... Sw--1Wrjyh might be worth an offer? (there are some pins on at the moment as well, but only individual ones)

thank you, so kind
yes, I am still looking for these stuff, including locker-pins :D

I got a riscpc 600 2slices for ~50gbp 10years go. It turns out it's a good investment :)

sir, as Possible Refund Opportunity, I offer you a few Banknotes
with a portrait of Charles Darwin and Edward Elgar on the back
for the total amount of Fifty Pounds and Eighty-Seven Pence
plus One Shilling with the portrait of Her Majesty the Queen


( kidding :D :D :D :D :D )



p.s.
have you already tried the last DDE ?
the most wonderful development suite ever
worth the money, ironically exactly 50 UKP :D
