This I like the sound of, if I could have a high spec PC, say 233+Mhz Pent.
and an acorn StrongARM 233+ for say. 1500 ish ukp all in one box sharing
harddisks and Ram I think it would be a winner. After all why not get the PC
world to do are motherboard development for us? So Acorn and ARM can get on
with the OS and the processor without having to re-invent the wheel ever
time the data bus speed becomes the limiting factor.
