RISC OS 6 User Documentation

Introduction

RISC OS Six is the latest version of the operating system to be supplied by RISCOS.com. RISC OS 6 is currently suitable for RiscPC, Kinetic RiscPC, A7000, A7000+ and VirtualAcorn products.

RISC OS Six is built from 26/32bit neutral sources, which means that RISCOS.com can make either a 26bit version for older machines and for VirtualAcorn products, or a 32bit version for newer machines such as the A9. This version of RISC OS is 26bit only and will not work on 32bit machines.
