Software information: RiscPC: NIC drivers (changes)

Showing changes from revision #3 to #4: Added | Removed | Changed

Overview

This archive contains disc-based (i.e. softloaded) drivers for the following Ethernet cards:

Prerequisites

If you want to softload these drivers on older releases of RISC OS (e.g. 3.6 or 3.7) you must have an up to date C library installed (SharedCLibrary 5.34 or later, and CallASWI 0.02 or later). Updated versions can be found in the “System Resources” archive on the Miscellaneous downloads page. If you are already running RISC OS 5, you do not need to download the “System Resources” archive.

ROM upgrade

It is also possible to upgrade the flash memory in the EtherH and EtherY cards, instead of softloading the drivers. This archive contains the necessary reprogramming tools.

For EtherB and EtherM cards, RISC OS Open also sell replacement ROM chips containing upgraded drivers – see the EtherB and EtherM page pages respectively. Alternatively you can softload the drivers as mentioned above.

Obtaining these drivers

Go to RiscPC downloads and download the NIC drivers archive.
