Acorn's last serious attempt at the British home market: an ARM250 — the ARM2 with the memory, video and I/O controllers folded into one chip — in the A3000's wedge case, sold through high-street shops with a joystick port and a games bundle. It did not work; the Amiga and the PC had the market. As hardware the ARM250 integration is the point, and it makes the machine simple and reliable.
