Archimedes
A family of microcomputers produced by {Acorn Computers}, Cambridge, UK. The Archimedes, launched in June 1987, was the first RISC based personal computer (predating Apple Computer' s Power Mac by some seven years). It uses the Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) processor and includes Acorn' s multitasking operating system and graphical user interface, RISC OS on ROM, along with an interpreter for Acorn' s enhanced BASIC, BASIC V. The Archimedes was designed as the successor to Acorn' s sucessful BBC Microcomputer series and includes some backward compatibility and a 6502 emulator. Several utilities are included free on disk (later in ROM) such as a text editor, paint and draw programs. Software emulators are also available for the IBM PC as well as add-on Intel processor cards. There have been several series of Archimedes: A300, A400, A3000, A5000, A4000 and RISC PC. {Usenet FAQ (ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/acorn/)}. {Archive site list (http://www.cs.vu.nl/~gerben/acorn/acorn-archives.txt)}.
