Which one? The ABC 1xx was a B+ with a Z80 copro. The 2xx (ACW) was a B+
with a 32016 copro. The 3xx was a B+ with a 80286 copro. They never made
a machine to my knowledge with more than one coprocessor in the same
box.

I know the range got some stick in the press at the time because it was
seen as just a re-hash of existing Acorn hardware rather than being
anything new.
