I don’t exactly remember where it came from but I had this HDD dump of a pre-installed RISC/os 4.52 for MIPS Systems RC2030. I was recently contacted by Enrique Tejeda Canobbio who managed to convert the hdimage into chd format and boot it up on MAME which has MIPS support!

The system comes with a working C compiler and there are known some ports of various applications, also X11R5. I will post an update once I add some more stuff to the base image. For now just wanted to get this out in to the wild!
Download from here! Login root/root.
Please post comments or ping me on Discord if you get networking or X11 working!
