Today I upgraded a friend's A310 (4MB RAM, ARM3, Watford ST506, Acorn SCSI 
+ CDFS, IOTA Scanner, Watford ArchiTablet) to RISC OS 3.10. Most things 
work fine, but one thing that doesn't is the Armadillo 16 bit sound 
sampler. According to Malcom, Armadillo went out of business some time ago 
so he can't ring them up to ask them about it. The symptoms are that when 
starting !Highnote, you either get a total machine hang, a "Branch through 
zero at location &3812CA4", or an "Internal error". (You have to start it 
in mode 12 to even get this far.) Does anyone know what the problem is, 
how to fix it, or know of anyone who might know? Has any other company 
picked up the rights to the Armadillo kit?

The Watford ArchiTablet doesn't work either (it claims the tablet isn't
plugged in to the serial port) but Malcolm is going to contact Watford 
about that.

Owen.
