They supply the changes to tandy, but if tandy dons't deside to distribute
them...

I think it was included in what they charged tandy for doing the port.
It was done at tandy's request!

They still make bucks on the 09 and 68k controlers you don't usually
hear much about.  I wonder how popular CDI will get -- just imagine
thousands of people with their disk drive running a multi-user OS on a
messydos or half-os computer.

(CDI is a standard for combining audio, vidio, and programs on a CD.
The controler runs os9/68k.)
