CASTLE AND CINO JOINT DEVELOPMENT

In the true spirit of RISC OS co-operation Castle Technology Ltd, have joined forces with Spellings Computer Services Ltd to develop a new version of ADFS. This new version of ADFS will allow faster transfer of data through the RISC OS filing system, ADFS, whilst consuming much less CPU resources.

Of particular importance to Spellings Computer Services is that this new version of ADFS will allow the required flow of data from CD and DVD drives. This will allow DVD movies to be played back through RISC OS, in real time, from DVD, CD ROMs and other media.

Neil Spellings, managing director of Spellings Computer Services Ltd said "I am delighted to work with Castle to provide the first RISC OS DVD player. The work we are undertaking will free up a lot of valuable CPU resources which are needed for decrypting and decoding the video and audio data. The product is destined to be called Cino and should be available later this year".

Jack Lillingston emphasized Castle commitment to developing RISC OS. He said "this collaboration is an example of the large number ways that RISC OS receives input from a wide range of sources. We wish the Cino project all the best and know that this new version of ADFS will benefit all RISC OS users."

Castle manufactures the IYONIX and X100 pc range of RISC OS computers. They feature XScale processor technology with ultra fast 200MHz DDR RAM, PCI expansion, UDMA100 hard drives, Gigabit networking, PC style graphics card, USB connectivity, full software suite etc. The IYONIX pc is able to display a wide range of screen resolutions, up to 2048 x 1536 pixels and benefits from virtually silent operation due to the low power XScale processor.
