- I have also heard this. The provisional (real?) spec was as follows:
-
- 66Mhz ARM600 CPU
- VIDC20
- MEMC20 (allowing up to 128Mb ram on board)
-
- running both Unix, and some new form of RISC OS.

- Whether this is pure speculation or based in some form of fact, I really
- can't say. The person who told me was adamant concerning the accuracy of
- it, though.
-
- We shall have to wait and see, but it does sound nice........ :-)

- Incidentally, I was having a look through a friends RISC iX machine the
- other night, and I came across loads of code bearing 'Copyright 19**
- Sun Microsystems'. I was wondering if RISC iX is based upon Sun OS.
- If anyone knows, cos' I obviously don't, please e-mail or post.
