Ok somewhat of a advertisement, but if your looking for a cheap stb for decoding video, limited browsing etc ... then you might want to take a look at our range of stb's www.aminocom.com
 
(yes i do work for them, but sounds like it might be a lot quicker and easier than what your doing)

	If you're mounting from a Linux box, I'd go for samba or tftp rather
	than nfs.
	
	As Dermot mentioned, developing apps for it needs a RISCOS development
	env, such as Virtual Acorn and the Castle C compiler or the RISCOS gcc.
	IIRC developing drivers or interrupt driven stuff required the Castle
	compiler as gcc didnt have the capability.
	
	For fear of going way off topic, What do you want to do with these
	things? They are only just capable of playing MPEG properly....
