Hello, I am current editor in the Dmoz.org directory. Feel free to add any websites about SGI from these your internets.
I used IRIS Crimson workstation back in '90s in Russian Laser Center (IPLIT RAS). Then switched to commercial software development.

What is RISCOS like to program on..?

It uses register parameters and software interrupts instead of API calls.
It doesn't use virtual memory: all programs runs in the same address space.
This is the fastest way of computing but it's dangerous since memory pointers has no bounds.

Modern ARMs has 32-bit address space (up to 4GB) and allows 64-bit integer calculations (including division too).
Raspberry Pi has 512Mb on the board.
