They didn't make many; I had one for a while (I worked for Acorn) but passed it on to a dealer eventually (idiot!). I've since seen two or three others. There were some other similar-looking machines in the range. For example, the ABC -- Acorn Business Computer, a Z80 instead of the 32016; and one with a 80186 and DR-DOS. Both were axed very quickly. I've still got some of the bumf for those... There was also a Second Processor version in a small box, as an add-on to a BBC Micro. That came in two versions, one had 512K of memory (IIRC) and the other had 4MB (same as the ACW). They ran the same firmware/software as the ACW, including PANOS, a sort of cross between Unix and Flex, with hints of UCSD. The Second Processor version remained in production for several years, eventually being available as an add-in for the Master 128 which replaced the BBC Micro (this version was called the Master Sientific, but it was just the same item). I've still got the glossies for those, too... -- Pete Peter Turnbull Dept. of Computer Science University of York
