In the thread linked above, I asked for experience of running a PC
podule (specifically the last generation "Elvis" version") under RISC
OS 4.  For some reason, Google Groups won't let me reply to that
thread.

With the Kinetic disabled, !PC (version 2.06e, which I think was the
last podule software) gets as far as booting DOS, but thereafter there
seems to be a graphics problem in that something as apparently simply
as a directory listing produces random colours (largely black where
white text should be!).  If the podule ran OK in a RiscPC, this is not
(only) a VIDC20 vs VIDC1 issue, though I have not yet experimented
with "mode" commands in autoexec.bat or tried a clean DOS
installation.
