I thought one of them was called 'Garry', hardly a girls name...

The 4-chip chipset in the Archimedes all had names. The CPU was obviously 
'ARM', the others all began with 'A'. I can remember Arabella and Albion 
(the VIDC video chip and IOC I/O controller in some order), but I forget 
the name of the MEMC (memory controller).
