This is, as always, a very educational group. I never knew any of the
above, though did appreciate Jake Thakray's irreverent song on the
subject ("On Again").
Meanwhile, back with the A4000: just for the record, as i don't think it
has been mentioned in this thread so far -- it was essentially an A3020
but housed in a "desktop" configuration: system unit, separate keyboard,
and mouse. A range of suitable monitors was available as an extra.
As such it was one of the first RISC OS computers to handle high-density
floppies as standard -- something we were a bit late in adopting.
