You can get later than that, even sticking with the ARM chip. I am pretty
sure the Bush internet set-top box has BBC BASIC In ROM (I forget the key
combination to get the '*' prompt, but it'll be on the web somewhere).
It does; I have one and I've had BBC Basic out of it. Apparently if
you've got a parallel-port Zip disk you can boot plain ordinary RiscOS
on it. Good fun. Internally it's basically an Arm development board
with a few unpopulated sockets.

have it?
I'm going to guess Acorn Archimedes here.
