However, predicted requirements are:-

Ian Nicholas ASIC development Dec '92 - June '93
Alex Bienek ASIC development Jan '93 - July '93
Bernard Siddle Victoria PCBs Nov '92 - June '93
A.N. Other OPC/Stork/???? Q2 '93
Bruce/Vic et al Misc.
Victoria is the Risc PC development effort, is it not? I guess we can see another facet of the above timeline in the following:

"From Archimedes to Risc PC"

VIDC20 would have been available first, I guess, although it seems like the ARM6 family might have been available by the end of 1992. Here's the ARM page of a rather useful reference summarising available processor products of the era:

"EDN's 19th Annual µP/µC Chip Directory", EDN, 26 November 1992.

The Apple Newton which used the ARM610 was eventually shipped in August 1993, apparently. The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer - another notable ARM6-based product - launched in October 1993.
