Enlargements to notes:
[1] Formatted to 3 partitions 248M 248M & 316M (to get small LFAU)
[2] Seagate ST3491A Wont S/M to CFS240A (High end A5000). Will slave to
CFS420A (Risc PC)
[3] This drive recalibrates for thermal adjustments every 10mins, making a
click.
[4] CFA drives will work with RISC OS 3.60 (new Risc PCs, A7000) but not
with older versions of the Acorn IDE interface. They will work on ICS
interfaces though. (Badly defined part of IDE spec aparently)
[5] The HCCS interface apparently doesn't like podule slot 0, but is happy in others.
[6] WD Caviars often have initialisation problems - there is a fix elsewhere
in the FAQ for this.
Understanding the list:
1. Interface = 'Std/****' indicates the IDE interface provided with the
specified machine as part of the standard purchase package.
2. M-XXXXXX -Fitted as Master to drive (slave drive part number given)
S-XXXXXX -Fitted as Slave to drive (Master drive part number given)
3. A '#' in the notes section indicates a drive provided as standard in an
Acorn machine (at some point in history)
4. Sizes quoted are the 'manufacturer' sizes (for purchasing reference)
remember that manufacturer Megabytes are 1000k, whereas formatted
megabytes are 1024K... to get the 'real' size; multiply the number given
by 1000, then divide by 1024.
5. Drives over 1Gigabyte are quoted in terms of megabytes (hence a 1G drive
will be listed as 1024M) This is so that the list sorts nicely - divide
the number by 1024 to get the size in gigabytes...
6. Master / Slave information usually refers to other drives in the list!
注意：この一覧は色々な人からの報告をまとめたものです。管理者や報告者はこの組み合せが確実に動作することを保証しません。動かなくても訴えたりしないで下さい！
現在出回っているハードディスクのほとんどは、上面のラベルに master / slave の切り替え方法について書かれているのですが、古いハードディスクには書かれていないことがあります。 下の一覧は、このようなハードディスクをどう設定すれば良いかを記したものです。

設定用のジャンパーピンを設定するコネクタはドライブの正面にあります。ケーブルを接続するコネクタより幅が狭く、アクセスランプ用のコネクタ（これは RiscPC のハードディスクにはありません…マザーボードに付いています）の脇にあるのがそれです。
場合によっては、ジャンパーピンが入手できないものもあるので注意して下さい （特に、 A4000 や A5000 に搭載されている、 CF3008E という 80M のドライブに あてはまります）。
(Details translated from table by Dave Walker, as published in Acorn User Sept 95. Not all permutations have been tested, and we ain't promising!)
さらなる情報をお待ちしております。
Due to an obscure interaction between Acorn's IDE implementation and the Western Digital drives a problem occurs in that the computer becomes unable to find the Boot record that details the shape, format and other data of the hard drive. This results in a somewhat alarming and frustrating series of error messages that seem to indicate that the drive isn't formatted at all. (And by extension implying that you have lost all your information stored on the drive.)
Fortunately that isn't the case. In reality your information is safe and sound on the drive and you merely need to give ADFS a helping hand in finding the boot record, after which it can carry on as normal. This BASIC program supplies dummy values to ADFS that allow it to do that.
REM> Specify drive%=4 DIM rec% 64 FOR I%=0 TO 60 STEP 4 rec%!I%=0 NEXT rec%?00= 9 : REM Sector size, 2^9 = 512 rec%?01= 8 : REM Sectors per track rec%?02= 1 : REM Heads rec%!16=4096 : REM Disc size in bytes rec%?41= 0 : REM LBA mode disabled SYS "ADFS_SectorDiscOp",,15+(rec%<<6),drive%<<29 END
(Thanks to Eduard Pfarr for this program.)
Running this program once, during boot up, will allow the drive to be used normally. This does mean, for the moment, that you cannot boot from a Western Digital IDE drive.
NB for RISC OS 3.10, or earlier versions of RISC OS, you will need to replace the ADFS_SectorDiscOp with an ADFS_DiscOp call instead.
This list contains details of peripherals known to work on Acorn computers, and is intended as a rough guide for those wanting to upgrade.
The list covers all storage devices: hard discs, magneto-optical drives, tape, CD-rom, and related interfaces. It also covers modems, serial cards and printers.It does not cover IDE hard discs, as these are covered in a separate list in the FAQ.
This list is based on information from users. If you have new information, corrections, suggestions or if you just want to tell me how good it is, please e-mail nigel@c3po.demon.co.uk
If you have any equipment which you no longer require, please consider donating it to Clares Micro Supplies, who will find a deserving home for it. Contact DClare@Clares.demon.co.uk
Note that in all the following lists the interface refers to the computer and not the peripheral.

* RiscPC cases amplify vibrations from drives. According to Quantum technical support, drives with high spin speeds need to be internally balanced like car wheels to avoid vibration. Their first models (including the Atlas range) were not balanced, but current models are. Apparently the vibrations do not affect performance or reliability.

Problem Drives
Many drives don't work with the standard drivers found in RiscOS. This is usually due to differences between the implementation of ATAPI in the drives. Third party drivers (soft-loadable modules) are available (eg from EESOX) and some IDE and SCSI cards come with new drivers built in.

Tape equivalents
Some data tapes are identical to consumer AV products. Most manufacturers don't recommend use of the cheaper tapes for data storage but they do work.
DDS or 4mm tape is equivalent to DAT (Digital Audio Tape). A two-hour tape is the same as a 60m, and you can get three hours of audio on a 90m.
8mm tape is equivalent to Video-8. Currently I have no information on tape sizes or merits of using standard or Hi8.
Configuration
You may need to tweak the options to make your device work properly. Different drives have different requirements, so experimentation might be necessary.
Zip drives require a different setup from the other backup devices. Some users report nothing more than running their scsi config software to identify the drive to the system, the drive appearing as a hard disc. Others are using MagFS.
To set up Magfs:
Download Magfs from Hensa.
Set the MO$SCSI in the Run file of !MagOpt to to match the scsi id of the drive.
Insert a blank disk and run MO-form.
Enter 4 or 5 at first request.
Enetr N at second request for a low level format.
Run !Magopt.
Some magopt users are running tapefs. Don't know why.
Software for tape streamers can be obtained from the following sources:
tapefs is in ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/hensa/micros/arch/riscos/a/a050
magfs is in ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/hensa/micros/arch/riscos/d/d160
tar is in ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/hensa/micros/arch/riscos/a/a052
It has been found that the released version of tar won't handle image files (archives, for example). A patched version is available which will cope with these can be found at ftp://ftp.comlab.ox.ac.uk:/tmp/Robin.Watts/Tar_hack

Third party drivers
Computer Concepts' Turbo Drivers are available for popular printers. This software is optimised for speed although Acorn's own drivers have recently been upgraded and the benefits are not as great as they were. The Turbo drivers give greater control over the output and background printing actually works, however the output quality can be worse with dithered graphics.

The A3xx and A4xx machines are all similar, and comments about one of these machines should apply to any other, provided it is running with the latest OS and/or chip set.
Similarly, the A4 is a miniature A5000, and the RPC700 is a slightly enhanced RPC600.
StrongARM equipped RiscPCs might have difficulties with interfaces that work on the non-SA computers,
A3xx computers have no on-board disc interface; A4xx have on-board mfm. The A3000 has no interface, the A4, A3020, A4000, A5000, A7000, Stork and RPC models all have IDE.
In theory the fastest interfaces are the ones with DMA. These cards perform at their best on RiscPCs in slot 0 or 1. The data rate will be limited by the slowest part of the system, so when upgrading, budget for a new drive in addition to the interface.
The Alsystems Powertec card is a SCSI-2 DMA device with a top speed of around 4.5MB/s. This speed will increase with later software/firmware releases.
The Yellowstone RapIDE32 card is a fast IDE interface using DMA which will give a significant improvement over the standard interface in a RiscPC.
Both Yellowstone and Alsystems are developing rival products.
The Morley SCSI-1 interface is either cached or uncached. The maximum speeds of these are uncached: 2MB/s, cached: 4MB/s. These cards do not use DMA. Currently the Morley software cannot cope with partitions > 512 MB and the "Free" window is broken under RiscOS 3.6. New firmware is rumoured for the Morley card.
The TSP/AAD is the former 'Arxe Alpha Dual', which was produced by The Serial Port, but which is now discontinued. It provides 16-bit non-DMA SCSI-1 and a high density floppy interface.
Versions of Risc OS older than 3.6 can only cope with drives < 512 MB. Larger drives can be used if formatted to this size. Some filing systems allow large drives to be partitioned, ie split into 2 or more sections, each up to 512MB in size. The new limit for RiscOS 3.6 is 4GB, which is already looking too small.
An important new development for scsi card owners is the Alsystems PowerRom. This is a firmware upgrade for many existing cards, including Cumana, Castle, Lingenuity, Morley, Acorn, Vti, HCCS and Oak. The upgrade provides all the features present in the Powertec card, subject to hardware limitations, which will include compatibility with large partitions and devices such as Zip drives. The PowerRom will eventually be able to replace IDE card firmware too.
To determine the scsi version number of a device, run the following program:
ON ERROR REPORT:PRINT " at ";ERL:END
DIM buffer% 16
INPUT "Enter device number";device%
SYS "SCSI_Initialise",2,device%,buffer%
SCSI%=(buffer%?2) AND %111
PRINT "Version is ";SCSI%
END
This will give you zero if the device is not present.
Some manufacturers quote Megabytes as 1000K. This is of course totally incorrect but they like to cheat with numbers, so to get the real size, multiply by 1000/1024.
IDE hard discs
IDE hard discs are listed separately in the Acorn FAQ.
Jumper settings and configuration
Jumper settings are often a problem, and it's rare to get a manual with a drive these days. Some manufacturers have web sites, most of these have detailed information on their current models including jumper settings, and some have databases covering older devices.
Although sometimes biased towards PCs, the information can be extremely useful.

RiscPC に使用できる RAM は一般的な 72pin の SIMM ですが、マシンを壊してしまうかもしれないので注意して選ぶ必要があります。 EDO RAM でも動きますが、電圧の違いによってマシンを壊す可能性があるので使わないで下さい。
動作する RAM の条件ですが、 70ns （もしくはそれ以上の速度であること）、 72pin 、 square array （row および column のアドレスのビット数が同じである）で、 'fast page mode' と 'CAS before RAS' refresh を使用するパリティ無しのものです。 16 個のチップが載っている（各面に 8 個載っている）ものは電力消費が大きく、電源が安定して供給できる電力量を超えてしまう可能性があるのでお勧めできません。 また、 SIMM 'stackers' や 30 → 72pin 変換器も使用しないでください。
技術的な話にすると、最大負荷は次のようになっています :-
Address 128pF WE 140pF CAS or RAS 59pF Data bus 29pF
