Select4i4 featuring RISC OS 6.10 released at Wakefield Show 2008


Select 4i4, featuring RISC OS 6.10, is released at the Wakefield Show 2008 on Saturday 26th May 2008.

The RISC OS developers have made over three thousand changes and improvements since the RISC OS 6.06 ROM was released at Wakefield 2007. The key improvements and changes in the RISC OS 6.10 ROM can be found here.


It will be available for visitors to take away on CD at the show.


What is RISC OS 6?
RISC OS 6 is the latest, most up to date, version of RISC OS to be developed by RISCOS Ltd. It is now based on a completely 26 bit / 32 bit neutral source.

It is ONLY available for Risc PC, A7000 and Virtual Acorn products under the RISC OS Select scheme. See the FAQ section for further details.

Since the launch of Select 3 / OS 4.39 (Adjust ROM) all the development work has gone into the 32 bit conversion of the remainder of the RISC OS Sources that had not previously been converted as part of the RISC OS Select scheme. As might be expected this has been a mammoth undertaking and we hope that the wait has been worthwhile.
Unlike RISC OS 4.39 "Adjust" ROMs, RISC OS 6 is only available as a softload version. It is NOT available as a new set of ROMs.


 

Who can get RISC OS 6?
The first full version of RISC OS 6 is available on the download pages by subscribers to the RISC OS Select scheme.


How can I get RISC OS 6?
RISC OS Select 4i2 (April 2007), featuring RISC OS 6.06, is available for download for currently paid-up Select subscribers, and anyone who renewed their subscription after 1st January 2006. Please note that RISC OS 6 is a softload version of RISC OS, so the existing version of RISC OS in ROM on your computer will not be affected.

RISC OS Select 4i4 (April 2008) is currently only available on CD to RISC OS Select subscribers.
