  • curprev 02:5002:50, 23 September 2026 Josh talk contribs 10,098 bytes +3,993 Rewrite with real citations from the Archimedes 440 Service Manual, the 1987 price list and Chris Whytehead. Corrected: the GBP2,644 figure is the GBP2,641.60 inc-VAT base price; the R140 drive is 60 MB not 52-53 MB and it cost GBP3,500 ex VAT; measured A440 performance is 4.56 MIPS. Added the two AA alkaline backup cells with Acorn part numbers and the 1.4 V per cell check. Removed stripped-citation prose and unsourced 18 MIPS / 43 MB claims. Fixed red links. undo
