Well, it was in one of the recent issues of PCWeek InfoWorld, a very small article on page 1 or 2. I don't even remember the name of the company, but they were tickled that they'd actually done it. At this time, they're only gloating about the technical feat (of cloning the ROMs by reverse engineering rather than electro-Xeroxing), and they don't have a development plan yet. I think they said something like "six months" or "next year." Perhaps if Dave Small is listening, he can add something... -- Ray rrd@hpfitst1.hp.com (You know Dave's gotta be keeping close tabs on them!)
