Acorn A7000


The A7000 and A7000+ were Acorn Computers' entry level computers based on the RiscPC architecture. Launched in 1995, they replaced some of the models of the Acorn Archimedes range. After the breakup of Acorn Computers in 1998, Castle Technology bought the rights to continue production of the A7000+. The A7000 used the ARM7500 system on chip which combined the separate ARM CPU, MMU, VIDC20 video chip and IOMD IO controller of the RiscPC into a single chip.

History

The A7000 was launched in 1995, featuring a 32 MHz ARM7500 processor. The more advanced A7000+ was launched in 1997, featuring a 48 MHz ARM7500FE processor. When Acorn Computers was broken up in 1998 Castle Technology bought the rights to continue A7000+ production.
