TCR ROMs
A backup of the TCR ROMs found in one of my BBC Micros. These are custom ROMs made for Thurrock Care, which provide some accessible software. Note that both ROMs in the ZIP are required as well as a SPEECH! ROM to operate.
Yellowstone RapIDE32 Podule
The driver for the RiscPC podule called the RapIDE32 made by Yellowstone Educational Solutions. This includes things such as a format tool.
From their old site:
This new version of the RapIDE 32 software (version 2.29) is available for FREE Download, providing that you are a registered user of the interface. This upgrade enables the user to partition and format larger drives (> 8GB) and also fixes a bug which prevented very small files being saved in the root directory of the first partition of certain sizes of disc.
This patch is provided to combat a problem which emerged with RiscOS 3.7 and PC Pro 3. If the icons for the drives on your RapIDE interface are missing on power up, try this update. The patch will only work against RapIDE 32 version 2.26 and above. If you are also upgrading your RapIDE software, do that before running this patch.
