Happy days of flying the Lander ship straight into the landscape again, and again! :D
I got an Acorn Archimedes after my first computer (BBC Micro) and was utterly blown away by the elegance of the ARM instruction set. I remember being quite disgusted when I got my first job developing an engine for the Playstation 1 and had to optimise it for the MIPS R3000. There was none of the ARM elegance there. It was, well, ugly!
I'm still yet to see any assembler that's quite so elegant (although my low level coding days are thankfully long behind me).
The last Acorn machine I wrote anything for was the RISC PC, which I think was ARM6, if I remember right. So, I lucked out: first Archimedes: ARM2, last one: ARM6 then done :D
Depends which model you had, I think. The 1994 model had the ARM610, updated to the ARM710 in 1995. I'd forgotten that the ARM7 series implemented two different instruction sets, though. The ARM710 had the same instruction set as the ARM610, with ARM7TDMI coming along slightly later.
