Risc PC x86 Card Images



Acorn's 100MHz 5x86 card. One of the RISC OS 3.50 ROMs is visible at the bottom of the picture, and the data cable from a Cumana Indigo CD-ROM drive in the top left. The ARM processor card is just visible past the left edge of the PC card. The 5x86 processor is of course the large blue chip, while the smaller square black chip is the Revision 2 ASIC fitted to all new PC cards. Click on the image to view a larger version (about 150K).

CJE Micro's 133MHz 5x86 card. This time the RISC OS ROM visible is version 3.60. Both the data cable and the power cable of the CD-ROM drive are visible; the latter shares one of the Risc PC power cables with the small power lead from the fan on top of the 5x86 processor.

Acorn's original 486SX card. The Texas Instruments 486SXL 40MHz processor used is actually clocked down to 33MHz.

The original Acorn card again, this time inside the Risc PC case.
260K JPEG of a Risc PC 700 running Netscape 1.1 on its x86 card, multi-tasking Windows in a window within RISC OS while the ARM RISC primary processor runs RISC OS applications at the same time.
