Also there is this Great U.K Computer called the Archemides by Acorn, its a Risc machine, there risc chips are being use in the Apple Newton... Sort of leaves the A1200 for dead and the Falcon here, mainly on price, comes with a lot of software built in, has a 2 meg byte Rom, uses a 10 sector 1.4 meg disk, giving 1.6 megs, uses IDE Hard Drives, PC type keyboard, but there are lower grade models like the ST, and they come with a monitor, the Top model (A540) has Svga, plus 1152 * 900 mono, the lower ones are 640 * 480 256 colours... There notepad called the A4 was in Byte some months back, they stated that Acorn had the first multi-tasking windowing machines... Roger.............. sheppard_r@kosmos.wcc.govt.nz
