Didn't Acorn dabble in pcs? What about Research
Machines? Fairly robust, no?
Not AFAIK. There was an 80188 (or was it a 80186) second processor for
the BBC Master series. There was also a thirrd party thing caleld a Torch
Graudate that was basically a PC/XT clone that used a BBC micro for
keyboard and video display. AFAIK it was PC ocmpltibel at the bIOS level,
but not at the hardware level.
Did the Acorn 80286 second processor ever make it into production? There
exist scheamtics for it.
