A9Home

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The A9Home is a small form factor computer running RISC OS. It was officially unveiled at the 2005 Wakefield Show[1], and is only the second native RISC OS computer to run a 32-bit version of RISC OS.

It is significantly smaller than even the Mac Mini and housed in cobalt-blue aluminium casing.[2] The machine runs on a 400MHz ARM-9 processor.

The A9home uses a program called Aemulor to emulate for older 26-bit applications. This was originally developed for Castle's Iyonix PC.

In April 2006 Advantage Six Ltd announced that they are focussing on connectivity in the run up to this years Wakefield Show. At the show they will be demonstrating integrated bluetooth. [3]
