This is a development version of RISC OS 5 for the RiscPC with ARM610/ARM710/StrongARM, ARM610/ARM710/StrongARM/Kinetic, 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)
NosupportforKinetic cards(supportshouldpending)work, but currently lackDMA support (may cause issues with some hardware drivers)
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.
