I th ink that when riscos and Arther whas orrigionaly arround the
availibility of hard discs was not verry easy to get hold of.
Imagin what it would be like to have to insert a disc every time that you
wanted to startup the computer.... (See footnote below)

So I think that riscos should be alowed to be suplied on disc with a set of
generic drivers to axcess all the hardware that is used on those pc
computers.
Is this possible.
Think about it just by the os and s/whare and the hardware would cost so
little.

Is this the way forward then ?? Coes i think so

Footnote*****************************

WIN 98 users have to do this as they have worked out that it is quicker to
keep the cd in the drive all the time ;-)
