Castle Technology Ltd. (also referred to as CTL) is a British limited company engaged in computer software and IT consulting.[citation needed] It produced and sold ARM computers, and sold the Acorn-branded range of desktop computers that run RISC OS. Prior to Acorn's demise, it was the largest of their dealerships.[1] It is based in Cambridge, England.[citation needed]
Following the breakup of Acorn in 1998, Castle Technology bought the rights to continue production of the Risc PC and A7000+ computers under the Acorn brand name.[2]
On 4 July 2003[citation needed], Castle bought the rights to RISC OS from Pace Micro Technology and released the first Intel XScale-based desktop computer, the Iyonix PC, which runs a full 32-bit RISC OS 5. Castle and RISCOS Ltd subsequently agreed to merge RISC OS 4 and RISC OS 5 together.[3] In 2004, Castle announced priorities for development of the OS under a project named Merlin.[4]
Production of the Iyonix PC ceased on 30 September 2008.[5]
