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. -- __ __ __ __ __ ___ _____________________________________________ |__||__)/ __/ \|\ ||_ | / pdbean@argonet.co.uk (Patrick David Bean) | || \\__/\__/| \||__ | /...Internet access for all Acorn RISC machines ___________________________/ Web http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/pdbean * Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?
