Risc PC
<computer> The latest addition to Acorn's Archimedes family of personal computers. The Risc PC, released in April 1994, allows a second processor, e.g. an Intel 486 or a second ARM, to share the bus, memory and peripherals with the main processor. It also offers significantly increased speed with an ARM610 RISC processor and full 24-bit colour graphics support. http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~pjg/RiscPC/. (1996-02-05) | ||||

Risc PC
The Risc PC (codenamed Medusa) was Acorn Computers's next generation RISC OS/Acorn RISC Machine computer, launched in 1994, which superseded the Acorn Archimedes.
Like the Archimedes, the Risc PC continued the practice of having the RISC OS operating system in a ROM module. Risc PC augmented the ROM-based core OS with a disk-based directory structure containing configuration information, and some applications which had previously been kept in ROM.
