There's a few different ways of doing networking that get talked about every so often, but no one has a complete solution for ArcEm (as far as I know). Peter N has some code in the SWI magic version of QEMU that may well be portable to ArcEm. As for browsers, firefox, even if you could squeeze it into 16MB, is unlikely to be usable at the speeds we can currently emulate. However Fresco, Browse and Arcweb should use less cpu time and memory and are known to work with RISC OS 3.1. > Is it possible to address more than 16MB or is that a physical > limit for the ARM2? Yeah, 16MB is the limit. Even with evil thoughts in my head about Dynamic Area fudging, we can't get to the 64MB that Peter N points out that Firefox needs.
