Out of interest, were there many manufacturers who sold a system with three
different CPUs as standard? There were a few around with two, I know...
(Torch came close, I suppose, but as they didn't make the BBC side of their
systems themselves I'm not sure that they count!)

3 CPUs is a bit of an overstatement. There is a Z80 in there for user
programs. And a 6809 for I/O (!), the former with 64K RAM, the latter
with 8K IIRC. The last 'CPU' is an NEC 7220 graphics chip with 96K video
RAM. 3 bitplanes, there's no text mode IIRC.
