Software information: IOMD softload (Rev #10)
category: Help
This is a development version of RISC OS 5 for the RiscPC with ARM610/ARM710/StrongARM, A7000/A7000+, and RiscPC emulators such as RPCEmu.
Although most features are working and can be readily tested by selecting the softload with “Y” when prompted during booting of a ROM resident version of RISC OS, there are some remaining known issues:
- Correct operation on machines lacking 16bit sound hasn’t been verified (motherboard 0197,000 needed to test)
- No support for Kinetic cards (support pending)
Where networking is required use of a network interface card, “NIC”, residing in the motherboard socket is recommended. Those widely available with 10baseT sockets include
| Driver name | Chipset | Brand |
|---|---|---|
| EtherH | Macronix MX98905 | i-cubed/DesignIT/Acorn |
| EtherB | SEEQ 80C04/80C04A/8005 | ANT |
| EtherY | SMSC LAN91C111 | Castle Technology (support pending) |
| EtherM | Myson MTD908F | ANT (no planned support) |
| EtherX | ASIX AX88796 | Simtec (contact supplier for information) |
You will also need to ensure the !Boot sequence has been updated to such that no 26 bit applications are run that might otherwise halt booting.
