Software information: IOMD softload (Rev #5, changes)

Showing changes from revision #4 to #5: Added | ~~Removed~~ | ~~Chan~~ged

This is a development ~~softload~~ version ofRISC OS 5 for the ~~RiscPC~~ RiscPC, A7000/A7000+, and ~~A7000.~~ RiscPC emulators such as RPCEmu. Although most features are working, there are still several significant problems:

~~Please see this page? for the current status.~~

No floppy support
Control-break and other software reset methods will hang the machine
Playing music via Maestro is likely to cause a crash. Other sound/music players may be unstable too.
Correct operation on machines lacking 16bit sound hasn’t been verified
No DMAManager module
No code to handle keyboard scanning at boot. Therefore the shift/R/Delete/etc. boot modifiers won’t work.
No support for Kinetic cards
The internet stack is present but there aren’t any hardware drivers. So you’ll have to find your own 32bit-compatible drivers for any network cards/podules.
