A5000 Gets Bigger Hard Disc

As part of Acorn's policy of continual enhancement and developing its range
of products offered, the hard disc size of its top of the range A5000 has
been increased.  

With immediate effect the hard disc capacity increases from 120 MBytes to
160 MBytes at no extra cost to the customer. 

The A5000 4MB HD160 provides a 160 MByte hard disc drive and 4 MBytes of
RAM,  providing storage for even the most extensive data requirements. It is
ideal for software development, image processing and other applications
which are highly demanding of memory and disc space.

Fast storage, high resolution graphics and sophisticated third party
software makes the A5000 an extremely attractive DTP machine.  RISC OS
provides superior font technology to other machines used in this area.  

Font outlines are used to generate complete fonts at point sizes limited
only by the application software being used.  Valuable disc space is not
wasted storing the same font at different sizes.  A wide range of different
printer types are supported which include fast, directly controlled laser
engines, Postscript compatible lasers or dot matrix printers.

The price of the A5000 4M HD160, at #1599 ex VAT, remains the same as the
model it replaces and includes the Acorn AKF18 multiscan monitor.
