category:Help h3. Overview This is the stable release of RISC OS for the Kinetic RiscPC and emulators such as RPCEmu. It includes a flash programming tool for the Kinetic RiscPC *only*. If you have an A7000/A7000+, a RiscPC 600, RiscPC 700, or StrongArm Risc PC, you should consider either the [[Software information: RiscPC: IOMD 5.28 stable (softload)|softload version of the download]] or "purchasing the ROMs":/content/sales/risc-os-roms instead. Before installing this upgrade, you will need to ensure the !Boot sequence has been updated such that no 26 bit applications are run that might otherwise halt booting. For this reason you are *strongly advised* to [[Software information: RiscPC: IOMD 5.28 stable (softload)|try out the softload]] on a Kinetic RiscPC before reprogramming flash memory. h3. Installing the software On a Kinetic RiscPC, use the flash programming tool provided in the archive. On RPCEmu, install the ROM image in the "roms" folder. Delete (or move elsewhere) any other ROM images already in that folder. h3. Network interface cards Where networking is required, use of a network interface card (NIC) residing in the motherboard socket is recommended. For a list of supported Ethernet cards, see [[Software information: RiscPC: NIC drivers]]. h3. Obtaining the software Go to "RiscPC downloads":/content/downloads/riscpc and download the <b>IOMD stable (flash prog)</b> archive.
