@Suttiwit1234 You can get RISC OS 5 freely and run it in emulator or Beagleboard/Raspberry Pi/IONYX. just google risc os open and you should find it. If you have more questions you can PM me.

What was the operating system for the acorn? Did it have a unique one? Sorry, I am American and I haven't heard of Acorn computers until recently... I also apologize for the election of George W. Bush.

Ahhh, nostalgia. I spent a good few years of secondary school using these machines until they finally decided to upgrade to desktops running Windows.
Are these hard to come by now and what kind of price do they run? I wouldn't mind familiarizing myself with the OS again.

Did you get hold it from the National Health Service 'cos @ 5:26 when showing the top of the case there are the markings "North Cumbria CA1 3SL" (County and Postcode of Kendal General!). If you got it directly from an employee then it's technically theft from a crown state!

I got this computer off ebay back in febuary 2004. Its actually from North Cumbria Technology College (NCTC). As when i first got it, there were loads of CAD and educational programs loaded on the hard disk. Seach "North Cumbria CA1 3SL" in google maps. Cumbria, LA9 7RG is Kendal General.
