The Deskstation Tyne RISC PC Windows NT Workstation
CORRECTION: The BBC Micro used a 6502. The first ARM computer was the Acorn Archimedes in 1987.
* Tour, teardown and Windows NT fresh install. *
I recently got my hands on a vintage "powerful" MIPS R4600 machine from around 1994. This is a Deskstation Tyne RISC PC. This was released in the era of the early Pentium (P5) and probably cost $6500 or more.
There is little information about the company or the machines they sold, but this oddball machine glues a MIPS R4600 RISC processor to standard PC ISA and VLB slots. It runs Windows NT but the real issue is finding software that could natively run on this architecture. There is very little information about this system on the internet, but this one was running Newtek Lightwave 3D (and likely used as a video rendering box in conjunction with the Newtek Video Toaster running on a Commodore Amiga.)
