Phew! I find that I could probably have had the menu long ago - except that for me it's not Ctrl-End, it's Shift-Ctrl-End - and it's also a bit hit and miss, sometimes not appearing. The CD_ROM works (if I ignore the drive empty messages) to the extent that I can get a root window displayed. Unfortunately, I can't open any files or directories or copy anything from the CD. All attempts result in drive empty error messages. No sound (well, no beep: I haven't tried anything else). The 3.71 rom works, as does the 'vanilla' 3.70 rom image I extracted from this RPC after a power on with shift & * (??) held down - the sha1sum of which equalled that of Ralph's so I know it's okay. At least this long sorry saga has highlighted the possible problem of patched rom images causing startup errors, and possibly running errors. Thank you Peter, and Ralph, all who have helped me over the past few days, and all involved in the development of RPCEmu. -- David - david atcost ukpoets fullstop net _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
