Acorn stopped when they were broken up to essentially free up ARM Ltd.
shares, but people are stilling developing RISC OS and machines for it.
See http://www.iyonix.com/ (XScale machine) and http://www.riscos.com/ or
the url in the sig below. RISC OS 5 incorporates some linux source too,
you know.
Back to the A5000, http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ has stuff for ARM
processor powered linux machines, the A5000 has an ARM3. Getting linux on
an A5000 can be found here:
