Yes, definitely - but unfortunately I don't have a machine yet. I will by
the end of December - I know I said October last time but my finances have
taken a dive since then. 

One possibility would be to liberate an A7000 at Acorn World and try it
then. Maybe ART could loan one for the duration of the show ? I'll
certainly do some installing and beta testing if a machine can be found -
I'll be at the show all of Saturday. I have a strong vested interest in
seeing RiscBSD on an A7000, though I appreciate that I'm probably the only
one in the world :-)
