Rob Black made this available for people to test some time ago with a test
kernel with the new console code.
The ftp server is ftp://monet.me.ic.ac.uk/pub/vide

I never found Xarm-33 unstable though but then I haven't used it for quite some
time.
Xarm-34 is quite stable for me, though occasionally it crashes with a "Memory
fault".

Rob, I never managed to check out the console code though, but never got round
to tell you, so I'm using this convenient opportunity. ;-)
The problem is that the test kernels you made available switch to a different
screenmode shortly after booting, and my monitor can't sync it. It seems I'm
dropped right into a shell where I can type "halt" to get back to RISC OS.
