RISC OS 3.6 will not work in the A5000 quite simply because there isn't any
support code in RO 3.6 for the older hardware and it's 4MB rather than 2MB.
But it may be possble to soft load the new Filecore. Failing that there's
both Wizzo and EADFS which can be used to partition larger drives.

It's generally accepted that the more memory you have, the more you need....
