only a few made. They were used internally during
development - hence the podule to connect it to a Beeb, which
provided the I/O early on - and in the later stages before the
Archimedes launch in 1987, several were loaned to software
developers.
This is the machine Dick Pountain reviewed, I think.
Indeed, the Personal Computer World August '87 article does mention he
had an A500 on loan, though the photos are of an A310. They appear to me
to be Acorn stock photos, which I remember being shot in June (IIRC) 1987.
It seems he had an A310 by the time he wrote the article for Byte
Vol.12 No.11, though.
