[snip] > Shame that they stopped making machines :-( Acorn stopped when they were broken up to essentially free up ARM Ltd. shares, but people are stilling developing RISC OS and machines for it. See http://www.iyonix.com/ (XScale machine) and http://www.riscos.com/ or the url in the sig below. RISC OS 5 incorporates some linux source too, you know. Back to the A5000, http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ has stuff for ARM processor powered linux machines, the A5000 has an ARM3. Getting linux on an A5000 can be found here: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/armlinux/acorn/desc.shtml -- Chris Williams | RISC OS News http://www.drobe.co.uk/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
