[After Acorn] [Companies ]
In 1998 Innovative Media Solutions (IMS), a small company based in Somerset, announced that it was collaborating with Interconnex UK Ltd to build a RISC OS laptop using technology licensed from Acorn. The laptop was called project Peanut. The computer was demonstrated at the 1998 Wakefield RISC OS Show in May 1998. The system was based on the ARM7500FE CPU and would run RISC OS 3.71.
Unfortunately Acorn closed their workstation division in September 1998 and cancelled the Risc PC2 (Phoebe), Interconnex took over IMS in Nov 1998 and in April 1999 the Peanut died when the Interconnex web site said that "Due to increasing difficulties obtaining the necessary components, and the reduction in the size of the potential market, we have regretfully had to halt development of this product".
None.
