- The Arm6XX chip contains an on-board memory management unit, better protection
- and I think a write back cache.
-
- The Arm250 is a souped up Arm2 with MemC1a,VIDC and the other one (I/O) on
- board.
-
- I read yesterday in BAU that companies like Aleph1 were thinking of making an
- Arm600 upgrade but were put off by the cost.
-
- I didn't think RiscOS could hack the Arm600, or am I wrong here?
-
- As for a successor to the Arm250 - I personally doubt it, the machines are
- targetted at a slightly different area of the market, but who knows what
- ARM Ltd are upto, after all the release of the Arm250 was one of the best kept
- secrets this summer!

- P.S. Anyone want to correct me on these details?
- After all, this stuff is all from memory and contents of reading through
