The Acorn A3010 was the only "home" computer, targeted at the non-educational market, that Acorn ever made. It is distinguished by being the only Acorn computer with green (not red or grey) function keys, and also by being the only Acorn computer to which Econet could not be fitted. And it had a TV-out. At the time it was launched, 1992, the ARM2 processor inside it was considerably more powerful than workstations that could be bought for ten times the price. It was insanely powerful, but hamstrung by not having any form of graphics acceleration. (The CPU was so fast it was just assumed you'd do everything in the CPU.) It's a shame, really. RISC OS running on ARM deserved to be the British standard of computing, but Acorn's failure in the US market meant they could not compete with the sheer PR power of the large American competition.
