Understanding the Basics of the PC card
The PC card being hosted by the Acorn RiscOS computer has no direct access
to anything other than the host memory that gets allocated to it.
There are many operations in which RiscOS involvement is minimal but is present, so software links or drivers are provided to allow many aspects of the system to function. The PC card is not a complete replacement for a real PC, but allows Acorn computer users to run most PC software and use most of the peripherals connected to the host.
PCPro is the suite of software that allows this to happen. It comprises !PC, the application managing the hardware, with an Installer and some other modules and apps for Acorn RiscOS, and a software-loaded BIOS, together with the provided DOS and Windows drivers for the PC card.
There are also some software solutions from third parties that fill particular needs and are mentioned within these support pages when applicable.
