FAST Stealth has a 256GB SATA SSD.
But being Stealth, it has somewhere to hide another drive too.
Multiple-drive RISC OS computing in a compact case, powered by our fast Block Device drivers.
Storage capacity: respectable. Ability to make “sneaky” jokes: sadly unlimited.

We need shelf space. FAST Stealth needs shelf space. This is bad news for the computers currently occupying the shelf.
So: CLEARANCE SALE at the RISC OS London Show.
Complete RISC OS machines from £99.
Our ruthless approach to inventory management could be your gain.

We put a 2-inch colour LCD on the front of FAST Stealth. Why?
Because we could.
At launch it can display a carousel of images. Longer term, we have rather more useful system-monitoring ideas for it. Until then, displaying anything is technically possible.

Can’t take your RISC OS computer everywhere? We have two solutions to help out:
RISC OS Remote: leave it at home and use it from somewhere else.
RISC OS Roam: take RISC OS with you.
RISCOSbits - gradually eliminating all legitimate excuses for being without RISC OS.
Sorry.

Modern mechanical keyboard. ✅
Cherry MX Red switches. ✅
Individually coloured keys. ✅
Naturally, we immediately used this technology to recreate the function keys from 35-year-old Acorn computers.
Progress, eh...

Something is lurking in the shadows.
It’s small. It’s #FAST. It has SATA. And on 24th October we’re finally letting it out in public.
FAST Stealth.
RISC OS London Show 2026.
You probably won’t see it coming. Which is sort of the point.
