Is that good or bad?

  That was pretty good as it didn't have a floating point coprocessor at launch and was entirely software implemented. You could buy a card with an AT&T WE32206 copro for it which made it pretty damn fast. I think they had dedicated copro socket later on. I didn't buy one because all of them were stupid expensive.

  The Archimedes absolutely blew the popular 16-bit 68000 machines (Ataris and Amigas) out of the water, that's for sure. Although to be fair it was more expensive.

    I had BASIC games I'd written for the BBC Model B and when I ran them on the Archimedes everything moved around the screen too fast to see. It was amazing.
