[replied to my own post and sent this to myself rather than the list the first 
time - haha]

Just a quick update; I finally found it - it wasn't filed where I thought it
was :-) I'm not sure when I'll get to take a proper poke at it, although
hopefully soon now that I know I do have it here with me.

There's 8MB of data. Asm portions of the source definitely look to be ARM (not
32016), but there's Modula-2 and even some C in there, too. I think there
might be two separate intact source trees (one dating from June '87 and one
from September '87 - by which time it must have been pretty much dead as a
project).

Too early to tell yet how 'finished' any of it is (such that ARX was ever
finished). I saw one doc that references the code to be working with the "ARX
keyboard", but I'm not sure if there ever was anything unique to ARX, so maybe
that just means the regular A500 keyboard (as opposed to an A500 copro and the
BBC micro keyboard).
