== Overview == The A440 was launched in June 1987 alongside the A305 and A310, with the A440 priced at Β£2,299 excluding VAT and monitor . The A440 differed from the A410 in having 4MB RAM and a 20MB hard disc . The A410 was announced but may never have been actually sold - the July 1987 price list indicated it would be available 1st Quarter 1988, but the January 1988 price list said available 2nd Quarter 1988 . A fully-specced A440 with 20MB hard disc, 4MB RAM and software weighed in at Β£2,644 . The machine represented Acorn's vision of a professional workstation built around their ARM RISC processor, competing against more expensive Unix workstations while offering superior price-performance ratios.
