The A9home Compatibility
Site(http://www.phawfaux.co.uk/a9home/compatibility.asp) has recently
been updated.

Features of the site include: -

User editable software compatibility list

Well done - a very useful resource. Unfortunately, what the database
does not list is which version of RISC OS the application version in
question has been tested with.

For instance, it lists ArtWorks 2.55, TechWriter 8.31 and EasiWriter
8.50 as working on the A9Home, which was true when they were tested,
but none of these work on the latest ROM (Flash2) and the reader has
no way of finding out when that database entry was added/updated.

So, it would be good to have a field indicating which version of RISC
OS was used for the test and a field indicating when the entry was
updated most recently.

Good point Martin.

There are clearly developments beyond that of Flash2 which have yet to be
revealed to the public / Beta testers, so a field listing whether it was Beta
Flash 1, Beta Flash 2, or Release would be useful in the short term.
Hopefully the full release of the machine will clarify many things.
