Another recommended site is Peter Howkins excellent RISC OS module database at http://www.marutan.net/db/ which is probably more up-to-date and certainly more comprehensive than the lists on this page.
Contents of PRE-RISC OS 4 !System
The modules listed below are the latest ones I know of for pre-RISC OS 4 systems. Some will be specific to various versions of RISC OS, and I've based it on a RISC OS 3.7 Universal Boot Structure.
If you can provide more details on the purpose on any modules, please feel free to contact us.
If you would like to check the authenticity of the modules on your system, and also ensure that they are virus free, I've provided a checksum against the original module. Where available, this is in the right-hand colum and is calculated using my !CRC application.
I also have a comprehensive module scanner which will check the integrity and compatibility of all module files on your system. This is available to download from www.vigay.com/software/scanmod.html
| File/Directory | Version | Purpose | Checksum |
| 310.Modules.310Support | |||
| ThreeTen | 0.02 | ? | |
| 310.Modules These modules should be compatible with any version of RISC OS, and will be the ones loaded if no matching module is found whilst searching through 350.Modules, 360.Modules, 370.Modules etc. This is where any new modules you may install should go, and this directory replaces the !System.Modules directory found on earlier !Boot structures. | |||

Contents of RISC OS 4 !System
As nearly all the modules in RISC OS 4 have been updated since RISC OS 3.7, it would be a bit pointless to list every module here. Suffice to say that most RISC OS 4 modules are dated 1998 or 1999, whereas most RISC OS 3.70 modules are dated 1996 or earlier.
I shall thus list below the modules which are newer than those supplied in the RISC OS 4.02 roms. For those people who subscribe to RISC OS Select, I've created a separate page which details the RISC OS Select !Boot sequence.
Please NOTE that any miscellaneous third party modules are still placed in the 310.Modules directory above, as the directory structure on RISC OS 4 is the same as the Universal Boot Structure, with the addition of a 400.Modules directory - which contains any RISC OS 4 only modules.
Lastly, I shall give details of any development or 'beta-test' modules which may be available, such as newer 32-bit aware versions etc.
As always, please feel free to contact us if you can provide additional information or don't understand something - or merely want to offer comments if you think these notes can be improved upon.

Notes
The version of the 'Filer' module in RISC OS 4.03 is actually older than the version in 4.02. v1.97 is in 4.02, whereas v1.96 is in 4.03.
The same for the 'NetFiler' module. v0.79 is in 4.02, whereas v0.78 is in 4.03.
The same for the 'RAMFSFiler' module. v0.37 is in 4.02, whereas v0.36 is in 4.03.
RISC OS 5 modules
I haven't had time to create a comprehensive list of differences between RISC OS 5 and previous versions of RISC OS yet. Please check back later, or check the Iyonix web site.
However, since the release of the original Iyonix, a number of !Boot upgrades have been provided and it's likely that your !Boot sequence may have some redundant files in it. If you're like me, you might not like the idea of unused files cluttering up the !Boot directories, so you may want to delete them.
The main place that can get a bit cluttered is the PreDesk and Tasks directories inside !Boot.Choices.Boot.
As of 9th December 2006 and running RISC OS 5.12 (26-Jun-06) I have the following contents inside PreDesk and Tasks respectively.
Safe to delete....
I have successfully deleted !!!!NewUSB, directory USB and ~LanMan229 which are no longer needed, as newer versions are built into the RISC OS 5.08 rom.
