	Yet another computer museum - Acorn Atom
		Acorn entered the emerging home computer market with a consumer version of their Systems 2 to 4A.
		The Atom is ready to use with any color or monochrome tv, or with a simple modification can be used with a video monitor.
		Inside the Atom a PAL encoder unit could be placed, allowing it to create a colour image on TV (color monitors were very expensive then).

	Acorn Atom
		The Acorn Atom was a home computer made by Acorn Computers Ltd from 1981 to 1983 when it was replaced by the Acorn Electron.
		The Atom was a progession of the 6502-based machines that the company had been making from 1978.
		The Atom was a cut-down Acorn System 3[?] without a disk drive but with an integral keyboard and cassette tape interface, sold in either kit or complete form.

	CCP4 Program Suite : acorn (Site not responding. Last check: )
		ACORN [1] is a flexible and efficient ab initio procedure to solve a protein structure when atomic resolution data is available.
		ACORN can be used to determine a small molecular structure too, but all the default values are for the determination of a macro-molecule structure, so some keywords may be needed.
		ACORN will generate sets of random orientations and calculate CC for each set in the first stage of RROT with % of the reflections within the resolution of .

	CCP4 Newsletter Article: ACORN
		With atomic resolution data ACORN [1] can solve a protein structure from a small fragment as little as 5% or even 1% of of the scattering matter of the unit cell.
		ACORN in CCP4 is a comprehensive program package which can handle all kind of starting fragments according to the features of the structure to be determined.
		ACORN can pick up a part of the standard alpha helices with the size to suit the structure to be determined, for example 50 atoms which are 10 Alanines.

	CCP4 Program Suite : acorn
		Example 7: Use a randomly placed single atom as a starting point to determine the position of the sub-structure of anomalously scattering atoms in a protein structure from both the anomalous and isomorphous differences.
		ACORN [1] [2] is a flexible and fast ab initio procedure to solve a structure when the data are sufficient to separate atom sites in the E maps.
		If the "model" is a single atom, a rotation function search is not required, and the MR "translational" search allows the systematic trial of all starting points in the Cheshire Cell.

	Full Acorn Machine List
		Acorn System 5 - similar to the Systems 2,3 & 4 except that it had a 2 MHz 6502 and was the first Acorn machine to be supplied with DRAM rather than static RAM.
		Acorn Atom - this was powered by a 6502 chip and had, by default, 2k of memory with total expansion limited at 12k.
		Acorn Proton - prototype version of the BBC Model A. It was never released commercially under the Proton name and all prototypes became BBC prototypes when the BBC contract was won.

	Acorn Systems
		Acorn Computers was a British computer company established in Cambridge, England, in 1978.
		Acorn's BBC Micro computer dominated the UK educational computer market during the 1980s and early 1990s, drawing many comparisons with Apple in the U.S. Though the company was broken up into several independent operations in 2000, it leaves an impressive legacy, particularly in the development of RISC personal computers.

	Acorn Atom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Atom was Acorn's first computer to be aimed squarely at the home market.
		The Atom was a progression of the MOS Technology 6502 based machines that the company had been making from 1979.
		The kits of the Atom could be problematic for Acorn if the customer didn't have the relevant assembly skills - according to this article [1] one customer assembled his Atom with glue, logic dictating that the heat from the soldering iron would damage the kit.....

	Acorn Computers
		The Acorn Atom was a home computer made by Acorn Computers Ltd from 1981 to 1983 when it was replaced by the BBC Micro (originally Proton) and later the Acorn Electron.
		The Acorn Electron was a budget version of the BBC Micro educational/ home computer made by Acorn Computers Ltd. It had 32 kilobytes of RAM, and its ROM memory included BBC BASIC along with its operating system.
		Acorn's Machine Operating System is the computer operating system that powers the Acorn BBC computer range: the BBC Micro (MOS 0.1 to 1.2), the B+ (MOS 2) and the BBC Master Series micro (MOS 3).

	Yet another computer museum - Acorn Atom
		The optional keyboard for these systems is very similar or identical to the Atom case.
		So it was only a small step to integrate the electronics of CPU, VDU and memory card into one board with the keyboard and create the Atom.
		All the Acorn Eurocards are compatible with this configuration, allowing enourmous variations on a modular basis.

	Acorn
		Acorn's range of 8-bit machines include the Atom (on the picture), the BBC models A, B and B+, the Electron, the BBC Master and the Master Compact.
		Atom (1979) had 6502A/1 MHz CPU, 8 KB ROM (max.
		The BBC B was quite expensive, so Acorn decided to produce a smaller, more limited "little brother", called Electron.

	[No title]
		But that wouldn't be Acorn, oh no, they kept thier OS safely under a hood for their eyes only.
		Acorn released many Archimedes machines, some with up to a 12Mhz ARM3 Procesor, 16MB RAM and RISC OS 3.11 {Picture of RISC OS} Acorn's software engineers were working on a new, great OS codenamed ARX but Acorn fell short of time/money though and in a mere two weeks, RISC OS was born.
		In 1990, Acorn thought that, if, ARM was spun out to a seperate company, other companies could use their chip and, so, could turn ARM into a huge company, in fact, much larger than Acorn.

	Acorn Computers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although a new company licensed the Acorn trademark in 2006 to sell a range of branded laptop computers, the company has no staff and only one technology associated with the previous incarnation of the company.
		Even from the time of the Atom, Acorn were considering how to move on from the 6502 processor: the 16-bit Acorn Communicator developed in 1982 using the 65816 being a key example.
		The Electron had been launched in 1983, but problems with the supply of its ULAs meant that Acorn was not able to capitalise on the 1983 Christmas selling period – a successful advertising campaign, including TV advertisements, had led to 300,000 orders, but the Malaysian suppliers were only able to supply 30,000 machines.

	Speech Synthesis Module for the Acorn Atom (Site not responding. Last check: )
		PB7 is connected to the SBY output of the speech processor IC and is used to indicate to the Atom that IC1 is inactive.
		If you have a fully expanded Atom powered by the Acorn Atom mains adapter it will probably be necessary to use an alternative power supply or power the speech module separately.
		The speech module may be connected to the Atom by means of EURO connector or by direct wiring.

	Acorn Atom Emulator
		The Acorn Atom has a simple one-to-one memory mapped video interface (using the MC6847 video chip), which means that a fixed part of the memory is displayed on the screen line by line.
		The problems is that the key layout of the Acorn Atom differs from those found on current computers, so some remapping had to be done.
		I received an email from Toby Thain in which he tells that he wrote a working emulator for the BBC Micro (the succesor of the Acorn Atom), to run on Macintosh, in 1987.

		The Atom was Acorn's entry into the personal computer market, released in 1979 the machine was the forerunner of the hugely successfull (in the UK at least) BBC micro.
		The machine came equipped with an 8K rom containing Acorn's own integer basic, which could be expanded to a 16K floating point rom.
		The BBC Microcomputer (deveolped as the Acorn Proton, but licenced by the BBC), was Acorn's most successfull machine to date, with some of these machines till in service today some 15 years after the machine's introduction.

	OLD-COMPUTERS.COM : The Museum
		The Acorn Atom was the ancestor of the BBC computers series.
		The great advantage of the Atom compared to its competitors (TRS-80 & PET), was its high resolution capabilities (256 x 192) which were quite unusual in 1979 for the price.
		A lot of applications were available on sideways ROMs that plugged into the "utility ROM socket" as Acorn called it, such as the "Atom Word Pack ROM" (word processing) or Atom-Calc (a 4K ROM spreadsheet).

		However, thanks to quite a number of (EP)ROMs and the Atom's flexible structure, the Atom could be extended with a wide variety of possibilities.

		Due to his encouraging comments, the Atom DOS is now supported in the emulator.
