RISC OS 4 Adjust Single User Pack, as supplied to me via CJE Micro's.
It contains, 2 ROM's containing the OS, a CD with relevant hard disc
components for many variations of Adjust upgrade, Instruction leaflets
and product registration card.

|
A last look at my RISC-PC's desktop in RISC OS 3.7 format.
Whilst the machine is still running, make a copy onto floppy disc of
!Hform from the CD. This will be required to re-format the hard disc for
RISC OS 4.
|
|
First step, remove the top cover by turning the two rear locking
screws through 90 degrees. The top cover can now be removed.
|
|
Remove the processor and any co-processor from their relative slots.
|
|
Disconnect cables to the floppy and CD-ROM drive, remove the four
locking pins.
|
|
The upper "slice" can now be lifted away.
|
|
If fitted, remove the two screws that secure the network card in
place.
|
|
Ease the card out of its mainboard socket and away from the chassis.
|
|
We now have a clear view of the OS ROM's, they are labeled ROM
1 and 2.
|
|
CAREFULLY ! ease out the old ROM's. I use these bent screwdrivers
to do the job. Place the screwdriver between the ROM and ROM SOCKET and
ease from one end, then another until the ROM becomes free. Be careful
not to damage the pins on the ROM, or more importantly the mainboard.
|
|
Take the new ROM's, they are labeled ROM-1 and ROM-2, line up,
and push them into there relevant sockets, making sure pins line up BEFORE
pushing home. If the pins are spread to wide from side to side, lay the
chip on its side on a table and bend them all at once slightly so they
are 90 degrees to the ROM.
|
|
I decided that now would be a good a time as any to upgrade the
old 1.2Gb Hard Disc with an IBM DeskStar 40Gb unit. Just make sure the
new drive has its jumpers set to MASTER.
|
|
Re-assemble the machine and power-up whilst holding down the DELETE
key to initialise the new BIOS defaults. This screen will appear next.
I selected option "W" to check the machine configuration ie number of drives
etc, then option "X" to take me to the desktop.
|
|
From the desktop I have accessed my copy of !Hform on floppy disc
and use it to Format my newly installed Hard Disc. I accepted all the default
values for the disc setup (as shown). Remember to also enable "Long Filename
support" to get the most out of the OS.
|
|
When done, use the installer on the CD to install the relavant
Hard Disc content, including the new Boot Structure. Re-boot the machine
and you are presented with Adjust in default guise.
