Iyonix PC

From Free net encyclopedia

The Iyonix PC is an Acorn-clone personal computer from Castle Technology Ltd.

Features include:

Intel XScale (StrongARM) 80321 600 MHz 32 bit processor
two 64 bit and two 32 bit PCI ports
RISC OS version 5 in hardware ROM module
support for the Linux operating system [1]

Being the first substantial new computer for the Acorn RISC OS/ARM platform since the Risc PC, the Iyonix PC fills a key position for RISC OS users. It is comparable with what the Phoebe PC should have been had Acorn not chosen in 1998 to withdraw from the personal-computer market.

The Iyonix is ideal for developing ARM-based PDA applications.

Units first went on sale in December 2002.
