The term ABC to me refers to the computer that Acorn released a number
of years ago. It was packaged like a PC. If I remeber correctly  it
was based on a master with MS-DOS coprocessor. The ABC stood for
Acorn Business Computer.
These "facts" may or may not be accurate as it was some time ago.
I can look it up if anyone's interested.

Assuming that the above is accurate then the ARM has nought to do with ABC
If anyone else knows different please correct me. It takes a loooong
time for any information to seep from the UK to Australia.

How about comp.sys.acorn.bbc or some such section for those of us with
the all enduring 8 bit wonders?

I don't have access to eunet.micro.acorn, is/was there anything in it
worth transferring to this section (if others are in the same sitution)
As far as closing it down, why not just have all messages sent to it
relayed to this section until people get used to it then kill it.
