It shares with {{nowrap|RISC OS}} the same 4 MB ROM size and suitability for use with TV displays. Pace purchased the rights to use and develop NCOS from the STB division of Acorn Computers[4] (by then named {{nowraplinks|Element 14}}). RISCOS Ltd later announced {{'}}Embedded RISC OS{{'}}, which was to have similarities with NCOS.[5]DevelopmentNCOS originated in connection with the Network Computer project. It was used on various STB products.[6] It branched from RISC OS 3.60 and was called RISC OS 3.61{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} before being named after Network Computer Operating System.[7] It was merged back into the HEAD whilst at Pace,{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} where it was known as {{nowrap|RISC OS-NC}}[8] and RO-STB.[9] FeaturesNCOS was designed in accordance with the Network Computer Reference Profile and therefore supports internet standards of the time.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} Being closely based on {{nowrap|RISC OS}}, it is also capable of running a number of that operating system's applications.[10] See also
