Jim Drews popularity seemed to have nose dived hard in the last several years. I don't hear anything but venom towards Microcode Solutions.


Very true.... Though I'd suspect it's because he's never put out anything more than a half-assed product before dropping the line and/or renaming it.  

iFusion is a perfect example...  A couple hundred bucks pre-order, and it from reports it STILL doesn't work on BlizzardPPC/1200's, and the only two computers it was AIMED at were BlizzPPC/1200's and CyberStormPPC/4000's.....

Fusion should have been an upgrade from Emplant, but since it had a new name, no upgrade pricing...  And, really, Emplant should have been discounted on the fact the only two modules for it that "worked" were the Mac (which ShapeShifter handily outran!) and the e586, which was superb, if you had a need for a 0.7mhz Pentium emulation from your 68040..  The 68060, of course, caused crashes on both the Mac and e586dx modules.  Oh, and don't try CyberGraphX 4, either...

Not that I'm bitter.  :-D
