I am about to unpack one of the last Iyonixs, that I purchased but
due to illness have as yet not used. Do I need to start by downloading
any upgrades/bug fixes? I seem to remember seeing people have had
various problems with the Iyonix

www.riscosopen.org) You should be able to get the latest OS update
from there.

[I've set folow-ups to csa.hardware as more appropriate for this discussion.]
The main problem people had recently was the bug in the real time clock.
This was fixed by the upgrade to RISC OS 5.16. If I understand you
correctly, that you bought one of the last Iyonixes just before they stopped
making them and never unpacked it, then the machine will be fairly up to
date, but won't have the real time clock fix. You will find it is usable,
but all the files will be datestamped a couple of years in the future, which
can cause problems later on.
Go to http://www.riscosopen.org/content/downloads/other-zipfiles
Scroll down to find the Iyonix XScale section. I would put either 5.16 or
5.18 on it, using the flash prog rather than the softload. You may want to
update components on HardDisc4 as well, but I'm not so familiar with that
aspect as I have not recently done it myself.
