Both Paul and Jim have ARMiniX systems, which didn't restart cleanly in RISC OS (had to power on/off) with the original OS build. This was updated. Original ARMini users should update to the 5.20 SD card release (which has been available for some months now through ourselves) for the latest recommended OS. I appreciate this isn't a super-cheap solution, but it is the best way to avoid a load of potential hassle.
