Re: New to RPC, need advices
The exact error message would help! Also, what version of RISC OS do you have? Later versions (4+) had better CD support IIRC.
Do not unzip the programs on Windows, it will lose the RO filetypes which means they won't run correctly. Transfer the zip across via floppy and unzip it on RO.- How to transfer programs from my win 10 pc to the RPC with floppy ?

If you don't have an unzip program on the RPC, then get the self-extracting version of SparkPlug or SparkFS from here - https://www.davidpilling.com/wiki/index.php/SparkFS

Hi Helpful
About the CDrom drive, MY RPC run under OS3.6, but i have ordered a supported one, buyed the RiscOS4 upgrade, StrongARM 233 and Pc 486 board
i have extract the Sparkplug to unzip, and have installed a lot of stuff.
I like to know how to use basic to program some stuff, how to find some commercial programs, i guess now they are free or abandonned...
Really love this computer, i have 100s of them but this one is very special, like my SGI, taste different
Cheers
