The A9home was a niche[2] small-form-factor desktop computer running RISC OS Adjust32. It was officially unveiled at the 2005 Wakefield Show,[3][4][5] and is the second commercial ARM-based RISC OS computer to run a 32-bit version of RISC OS. When the Iyonix PC was withdrawn from sale, the A9home remained the only hardware to be manufactured specifically for the RISC OS marketplace.[6]
