This is the stable release of RISC OS 5.24 for the RiscPC (ARM610/ARM710/StrongARM/Kinetic), A7000/A7000+, and RiscPC emulators such as RPCEmu.
Overview
This is the stable release of RISC OS 5.24 for the RiscPC (ARM610/ARM710/StrongARM/Kinetic), A7000/A7000+. The ROM image can also be used on RiscPC emulators such as RPCEmu.
It can readily be tried out by selecting the softload with “Y” when prompted during booting of a ROM resident version of RISC OS. You will also need to ensure the !Boot sequence has been updated such that no 26 bit applications are run that might otherwise halt booting.
The Kinetic processor card is supported, but currently doesn’t allow DMA in that configuration. Expansion card drivers should fall back to using I/O accesses instead.
You will also need the RISC OS 5.24 HardDisc4 image from Miscellaneous downloads
Installing the software
Where To networking upgrade is from required use of a network interface card, “ NIC RISC ”, residing OS in 3, copy the motherboard !Boot socket directory is from recommended. this Those archive widely on available top with of 10baseT the sockets existing include !Boot directory. This will add the softloader to !Boot.Choices.Boot.Predesk

To upgrade from RISC OS 4 or an earlier version of RISC OS 5, use the “Boot merge” facility (Configuration > Boot > Install) and drag the !Boot directory from this archive into the merge window.
Network interface cards
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:
