Definition

The Acorn Archimedes & Risc PC are computer systems that saw primary use in educational, business, and scientific applications in the UK. Most media was distributed via floppy disks but some later media (particularly during the Risc PC era) was distributed via CD-ROM and even DVD-ROM. Some Archimedes software can be run on Risc PC hardware, similar to running 16-bit Windows applications on a 32-bit version of Windows. Compatibility is not 100% however, therefore documentation of support for each disc is recommended.

General Notes

Is considered a "dead" system for Redump purposes, and all discs are allowed.

Follow IBM PC Guide for dumping, functionally identical to IBM PC

Suggestion: Document compatible hardware versions (Archimedes vs Risc PC)
