Thanks Peter,
That is the same version I managed to get from http://web.archive.org
As it was dating back to 2007, I just wanted to check it was the
latest, as I want to test it on my Beagle Board.

2.85 -- 14 March 2004 -- is the latest version I've got a note of.

At risk of 'Metooing', that's the latest version I have, and I checked
a couple of weeks back.

I'm hoping to do some testing of applications on the Beagle Board
tonight.
If anyone is interested, I'll see if I can get a page setup on the
RISC OS Open WIKI,
to post my results to.

There is a software compatability page on the RISC OS Open Wiki here;
http://www.riscosopen.org/wiki/documentation/pages/Cortex-A8+software+compatability+list
The above page shows software compatability with the Beagle Board
(Cortex A8) port, not RISC OS Open in general!

If anyone has any requests for apps to be tested, get in touch, I'll
gladly try them out!

Hows the USB performance? I'd certainly be interested to know if
MFPxEpson works - Epson Multifunction Printer Scanner software (see sig.)
or PrintSpool/USBKick.

I tried all 3 of those apps, they all loaded fine, I don't have an
Epson printer to test MFPxEpson out properly.
USBKick did scan the USB ports, and detected my USB hard drive.
And PrintSpool worked too!
(I'll add these apps to the RISC OS Open Wiki shortly)
The USB performace on the Beagle Board seems pretty good, my USB
Seagate drive is treated as a SCSI drive,
and works as the main drive. If you know a good app to test the
transfer speed, let me know!

Thanks for the tests. If you have an standard Epson scanner I probably
have some code to try scanning, let me know if that's of interest.

Good.

Great.

Cannot think of a particular program but Jeffrey Lee created some tests
for the USB mass storage drivers, see :-

I see PrintSpool can give an alignment exception, what is that exactly?

Excerpt from "Real-time concepts for embedded systems" By Qing Li,
Caroline Yao;
"Read or write operations that begin at an odd memory address cause a
memory access error event and raise an exception (called an alignment
exception)"
Normally an error will be generated, this is the first time I've seen
an app freeze. (Without an actual error)
I can only assume that it does have something to do with allignment
exceptions, as disabling them allows the app to run properly.
Perhaps someone with more experience than myself, can shed some light
on this issue??

Two -Ls??
cc 5.65 has the -memaccess switch but on compiling :-
"Error: bad option '-S22': ignored
The -S switch is present so presumably it is the '22' that is being
objected to.

PrintSpool is BASIC and assembler, no C code. It does access the RMA
though.
