RISC OS Computers: Castle Technology's Kinetic upgrade for RiscPCs

This site is a member of the RISC OS Web Ring


The Kinetic Card


Basic Details

A plug-in replacement main processor card for Acorn RiscPCs, with its own on-board high-speed memory to overcome bottlenecks in the now-dated RiscPC's hardware architecture.

The speed increase for many everyday tasks is dramatic, though there are some limitations such as needing to switch off Direct Memory Access (DMA) on podules mounted in the DMA-capable backplane slots numbers 0 and 1.
