		ARM6, (ARM610, ARM7) a family of 32-bit RISC processors of the ARMv3 architecture released in early 1992 by Advanced RISC Machines Ltd, a company structured as a joint venture between Acorn Computers Ltd, Apple and VLSI Technology, which became ARM Ltd when its parent company, ARM Holdings, floated on the London Stock Exchange and NASDAQ in 1998 ^[1]. The ARM6 is instruction compatible to Acorn's ARM2, has a full 32-bit address bus, requiring an extra PSR register. The differences between ARM6 and the later ARM7 are that the latter has a hardware debug capability, the Thumb instruction set to support both 16-bit and 32-bit instruction formats and an enhanced multiplier ^[2]. The ARM6 and successors were used in various Dedicated Chess Computers, notably the RISC 2500, Mephisto Montreux, Tasc R30 and Tasc R40.
