- NO.

- The ARM was originally designed by Acorn. At that time Hauser was the boss.
- The ARM2 was first used by Acorn in it's first 32bit computer (Aug. '87).
- Subsequently Hauser left the company to set up the Active book company and used
- a macro cell implimentation of the ARM2. This macro cell implimentation has
- never been manufactured by anyone for comercial use.

- ie It was the THAT macro cell implimentation that Active book helped design (if
- not designed).
-
- Other macro cell implimentations of the ARM2 have been manufactured for
- comercial use. (eg. ARM250)
