Acorn RiscPC 700 Images


The RiscPC 700 with its delightful front doors.


Behind the doors, a plain old 36x CDROM drive, standard floppy and a Zip100 I threw in to justify that extra slice!


With the top cover off, hinting at what's below. Note the pins in the front holding the slices together.


Top slice removed showing the podules, power supply, drives and peeking out in the back corner, the processors.


Bottom slice removed exposing the motherboard and hard drive. The unpopulated slot at the back is for additional VRAM and the unpopulated connector is for networking, although this machine has a podule ethernet card.


The StrongARM 200MHz CPU card. For a 700, this is a fairly powerful package and requires the use of RiscOS 4. This machine has 4.02 ROMs fitted.


The "other" CPU card, the Acorn Gemini II, built for Acorn by Aleph1. This particular example has the IBM 5x86C-100 fitted, a licenced Cyrix 5x86 CPU. This gives the RiscPC solid performance in DOS/Windows applications on top of its native functionality.
