I've arranged with Olly that I will buy a CD off him, but one thing neither of 
us was sure about was whether I'd be able to use it on my setup of RiscPC.  If 
anyone can confirm that I will be OK it would be much appreciated!

My current system is an "old" RiscPC 600 with the following additions:
StrongARM/RiscOS 3.70
32Mb RAM
2Mb VRAM
Cumana 300ia CD-ROM
Oak SCSI card with Alsystems PowerROM
HP 2Gb SCSI drive
270Mb SCSI Syquest drive

Will this spec be suitable for putting RiscBSD on the HP 2Gb SCSI drive, or 
would I be better off chucking the (original) 210Mb IDE drive in the bin and 
getting a bigger IDE drive?

Thanks for any help.

Simon.
