Acorn A5000

Acorn · 1991

The professional Archimedes: ARM3 at 25MHz, RISC OS 3, a high-density floppy and IDE on the board. It is the fastest and best-equipped of the classic Archimedes line before the Risc PC changed the shape of the range, and the one to have if you want a period ARM desktop that is genuinely pleasant to use rather than merely historically interesting.
