Just plug in and go - the OS was in ROM (now flash), with extensions
being loaded either at boot or on the fly. And the fonts system was
simply excellent - it's a shame we can't get the source code now that
Acorn is no more.

And the RISC-PC with Homogenous multi-processing which was done in
1995.
(Just a side(r) I hear that Castle Technology Ltd are playing with
PCI boards with up to 8 StrongARM processors per board!)

(Shame we Brits can't market anything)
