Interesting, a different take to my objectives.

What I want is to be able to continue to do large scale graphics work on
packages that I know, particularly ArtWorks and OvationPro.  Because of
the large scale, big bytes of memory are involved and RISC OS 4 rapidly
runs out of steam.

I had invested in VRPC as I hope to reduce the number of machines
floating around here.  But the 26 Mbyte limit continues to rear it ugly
head and the Iyonix has to be switched on more and more.  The iyonix
won't last for ever so I need a substitute; apart from the new hardware
(beagleboard, Raspberry Pi) the answer is RPCemu running RISC OS 5.

I there a possibility that we will get a reliable networking RPCemu that
will also run RISC OS 5?  (If so I can abandon both VRPC and the
Iyonix.)  I should add that Mac is the preferred host for RPCemu.
