Thought I'd download the new Iris browser for RISC OS but find it does
not work on v4.39. So can I simply upgrade to RISC OS 5 and if so where
from?

If you are running 4.39 then you are using a machine that is too old and
slow to run Iris.
So can I simply upgrade to RISC OS 5 and if so where from?
And RO5 would be a downgrade on that machine.

RISC OS 5 only I think it is. Same for Otter-browser and QupZilla.

Thanks for letting me know it doesn't work on RISC OS 5, I could not see anywhere on reading about Iris that it only worked on RISC OS 5 even on
the https://www.riscosdev.com/ website nor on PlingStore.
Disappointingly I have waisted money on a purchase due to lack of
information and unlikely to get a refund and if that is the case at
least I have supported development for the £49.00.

Iris does work on RISC OS 5, Iris is much more modern web browser and
needs lots of memory and as fast a processor ideally as possible.
You could always get yourself a Raspberry Pi 4 which of course can run
RISC OS 5 and Iris.
Is there a special reason why you are still with RISC OS 4.39 ?

I tried 5 on this RPC and didn't like it. Given an RPC is going to have >limitions anyway, 4.39 is OK with it.

I am wondering if Rcomp can help supply a suitable computer as their
website shows various options that look appealing? However I can't work
out witch on their site would be the fastest machine for me. Any recommendations?

Yes you can upgrade to RISC OS 5.2n.
I have an install of RPCEmu 0.9.4 on this PC, and that runs RISC OS 5.2n >(5.29) at a satisfactory speed.
I use it for testing stuff... :-(
Dave
For everyday RISC OS use, I use RISC OS 6.20 :-)

As far as I know, their 4té is currently the fastest. And if not, it's
still amazingly bloody fast. I bought one, so I speak from experience.

I don't think it's restricted to RISC OS 5 per se, but I believe it's >compiled with VFP which is only available on machines from the last 15 years >or so - and those machines all happen to require RISC OS 5.

You could always ask Andrew from RComp, as I'm sure he would be >understanding.

I have a FOURTress
I use Virtual Acorn on a laptop with 4.39 and not aware of another OS
working on it.
Does a pi offer a similar setup as I thought it was just a box that
allows RISC OS to work in it?

Sorry this is nothing to do with Iris but I notice the Fourtress has 2
full sized HDMI ports - can the Raspberry Pi inside drive 2 separate
monitors (or one monitor and an overhead projector) under RISC OS?

I don't think so, at least not with RISC OS at this time.

In which case you don't need Iris, use the one of the many browsers
which run on your machine's native OS.

A Pi allows you to run RISC OS without having to spend 90% of your time >looking after the OS needed to run Virtual Acorn.

I don't have any experience with the 4té, but I can certainly recommend
the FOURTress, also I've found the support from RISCOSbits first class.
