Just what I was thinking. Here's a screenshot from my RISC PC:
<

... 1152x864 in 16 million colours at 75Hz on a RISC PC600. Specs are:
Acorn RiscPC600 Mk.III mainboard
202MHz StrongARM SA-110
64MB RAM
6GB Seagate hard drive
Lite-ON 52x CD-ROM drive
Original Acorn (actually made by Citizen) 1.6MB 3.5" floppy drive
Windfall Engineering Viewfinder graphics card
i-Cubed/Design IT EtherLAN600 10BaseT Ethernet card
APDL ARCINv6c high speed IDE/ATA interface
Morley Electronics 16-bit Uncached SCSI interface (with no devices for it
*sniff*)
HCCS Vision24 video framegrabber with colour decoding
Second case slice upgrade
100W power supply upgrade
4-slot backplane
Manufactured in 1996, though IIRC the first RiscPC rolled off the production
line in 1994, so it's sort-of on topic. Me, I just think it's a nice machine
:)
Note the machine's LAN name (and hard drive volume label) - Kitsune - it's
Japanese; it translates to "fox", hence the Pinboard backdrop image (for
those of you who don't know the RISC OS terminology - think "background
wallpaper").
Later.
