(OT) Acorn RiscPC 600

Hi,

I picked up an Acorn RiscPC 600 base unit the other day, my first Archimedes-
type Acorn machine.

Anyway, I have a few questions. Perhaps someone can point me to a decent web
site about the Acorn machines?

 - I'm assuming the RiscPC 600 uses an Archimedes-type mouse. This should not
   be a major problem, as a simple pin-to-pin adapter should allow a three-
   button Amiga mouse to be connected.

 - Can I use a PS/2 type PC keyboard, or is a custom Acorn keyboard needed?

 - Before powering it up, I want to remove the hard disk and create an image
   file of its contents. The CD-ROM drive needs to be removed in order to get
   to the hard disk. I can't see how to do that. Any ideas?
