Most likely it's the Disgruntled Users of Atari Lobby (DUAL).  Seems like
they'll do anything to make our rain on their parade less wet...

Question: do you think that since the "Amiga Magic Sac" has been shelved it
would be possible somhow to coerce somone into releasing whatever amount of
design work had been done to the public domain? (Yes, that was a real unwieldy
sentence).  I think some bright person out there could either decide it really
won't work, or make it possible to "do it at home", and I don't see why it
couldn't be done with eprom copies of the Mac roms.  (Even more reason for it
to be a do it yourselfer, can't see a company endorsing the copying of apple's
roms, do you?  Maybe THAT is why the project was shelved)
