Let's stick with just `acorn' for now and see what happens. I think Archimedes/A680/A5000 can certainly share one set of modules. RiscPC obviously needs different ones but confusion should be minimal - call them `acorn32' if you like. >What about the Footbridge platforms? They can all share a kernel and modules. p.
