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.
