A series of
6502-based personal computers launched by {Acorn
Computers} Ltd.
in January 1982, for use
in the British
Broadcasting Corporation's educational programmes on
computing. The computers are noted for their reliability (many
are still
in active service
in 1994) and both hardware and
software were designed for easy expansion. The 6502-based
computers were succeeded
in 1987 by the Acorn
Archimedes
family.
