               StrongARM* TECHNOLOGY FOR THE DIGITAL TV MARKET                

06 October 1998, Cambridge, UK --  Acorn announced today that it is
delivering development boards based on Intel's StrongARM* technology
for the digital TV market.  Acorn is expanding its design services
programme for StrongARM DVB-reference designs, as well as new and
exciting additions to their broadband Digital Video Receiving devices
roadmap. Acorn is currently designing low-level system components and
software for the StrongARM platform's new digital TV applications.

Stan Boland, CEO Acorn Group said, "We are pleased to be working
with Intel as part of our ongoing commitment to StrongARM
technology.  With its high performance and low power, the StrongARM
architecture is ideally suited to deliver the capabilities required
for the emerging digital TV market."

Bill Johnson, vice president, Intel StrongARM and Bridges Division,
said, "Acorn is one of the original StrongARM technology
visionaries, and it is expanding its role by providing StrongARM
development boards for the digital TV market."
