- A5000 Gets Bigger Hard Disc
-
- As part of Acorn's policy of continual enhancement and developing its range
- of products offered, the hard disc size of its top of the range A5000 has
- been increased.
-
- With immediate effect the hard disc capacity increases from 120 MBytes to
- 160 MBytes at no extra cost to the customer.
-
- The A5000 4MB HD160 provides a 160 MByte hard disc drive and 4 MBytes of
- RAM, providing storage for even the most extensive data requirements. It is
- ideal for software development, image processing and other applications
- which are highly demanding of memory and disc space.
-
- Fast storage, high resolution graphics and sophisticated third party
- software makes the A5000 an extremely attractive DTP machine. RISC OS
- provides superior font technology to other machines used in this area.
-
- Font outlines are used to generate complete fonts at point sizes limited
- only by the application software being used. Valuable disc space is not
- wasted storing the same font at different sizes. A wide range of different
- printer types are supported which include fast, directly controlled laser
- engines, Postscript compatible lasers or dot matrix printers.
-
- The price of the A5000 4M HD160, at #1599 ex VAT, remains the same as the
- model it replaces and includes the Acorn AKF18 multiscan monitor.
