RISC OS Hardware

RISC OS Supported Hardwware

RISC OS was orgininally designed by Acorn Computers, to operate on their own hardware which used the ARM processor.
After Acorn stopped building hardware, the operating system went through varoius changes and the ARM processor was then used by other manufactutrers on their own hardware.
Over time, development of the RISC OS saw it being re-developed to support this now vaird harware range.

A selection of this hardware, which is now supported by the RISC OS, is listed below.
