I too had a BBC Micro, an Archimedes, a Risc PC and even an Iyonix for
a short while.

The big thing about Acorn is that they designed both the hardware and
the software, much like Apple and of course, partly like Jolla. That's
the reason I support them.

Intel even built an ARM CPU for the Risc PC. It was a 200MHz device,
called a StrongARM and superceded the ARM3 device my machine had in it,
itself an upgrade from the 33MHz ARM3 device which in turn had been an
upgrade from the ARM2 it originally shipped with. But Intel gave up the
design. The ARM design has improved considerably since.

Much like you've suggested the Youtube video, I would suggest RPCEmu ;-)
