They should spend their time putting together machines like the NeXTDimension; extensions to DPS that support 3D realtime graphics, and the hardware to do it on; coprocessor boards, with up to four 68040s; DSP boards and midi boxes so your computer can sing to songs it writes; 50Mhz 68040, and/or 88000 based machine. There's enough hardware to build to support the OS they have. If all you want is an analog -> ASCII converter, with a different OS, somebody else will build them (possibly lots of other companies), and you can buy one of theirs.
