Computing History - Acorn Archimedes 440/1

Acorn Archimedes 440/1

The third Archemedes model Acorn launched in July 1989 was the A440/1. It not only had 4MB RAM, but also a 53MB ST506 hard disc.

The Archimedes 440/1 model is the flagship of the 400/1 range,
featuring:
• 50 Mbytes hard disc. (Formatted)
• 4 Mbytes RAM as standard.

The hard disc and the greater RAM of the 440/1 offer the same benefits
as those of the 420, but more so. Whereas the 20 Mbytes hard disc of the
420/1 offers more than sufficient storage for many users, you may wish to
build up large banks of data, or keep a great selection of software readily
available.

Similarly, the 4 Mbytes of RAM of the Archimedes 440/1 computer
provides the space for the most demanding of professional users running
large applications and several processes simultaneously.

Sold in July 1989 for Ł1299
