- RiscPC
- ------
- Risc Mag is compatible with (and was developed on) the
- Risc PC 600. One point; sometimes the desktop font reverts
- to the system font, I don't know why, there's nout in the
- PRMs about that. However, press F12 then Return to restore
- it.
-
- Compatiblilty
- -------------
- Risc Mag has been tested on:
- RISC OS 3.11 A3020
- RISC OS 3.50 RiscPC 600
-
- It should be compatibile with RISC OS 2, and judging
- by the information supplied to me by Acorn it will work
- on RISC OS 3.60 (supplied with the A7000 and Risc PC 700)
-
- Only 1 mega byte of RAM is required (altough not much else
- will run at the same time) future issue may become too large
- and may require 2 mega bytes.
