[Oberon] OberonStation

[Chris Burrows]

Hi Bob,

The 'Workstation' version (as opposed to the 'Embedded' version) of Astrobe
for RISC5 has now been released for use with the OberonStation and you
should now have received an email with your registration details and
download instructions.

We are also supporting the Pipistrello + 1MB Oberon Wing board with this
version. For anybody who is interested more details are at:

Cheers,
Chris
