Acorn A440/1

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

This series was functionally identical to the 400 series but featured a newer memory controller the MEMC1a that gave it a slightly faster speed. It also came with a 53 Megabyte hard drive in the higher end models that came with HD's rather than the 400 series's 20 Meg one.

A440/1
4096k Memory.
Advanced Disc Filing System by default.
St506 Hard Drive interface by default with Hard Drive. (53 Meg)
