The ARM Evaluation System was the first product that anyone could buy with an ARM processor in it. It wasn't for normal end users though, it was designed to allow developers to build ARM software before the Acorn Archimedes workstation was released.
It attaches to the BBC Micro, which supported external processors via the "Tube" interface from the outset. Faster 6502 processors, and Z80s for running CP/M were the usual upgrades. Later you could connect a 286 to run DOS.
