That info seems correct to me.  Although those are PEELs, not GALs or PALs.


Jim:

I was always impressed with your work and Emplant was a great product!  A few questions:

1.  How long did Emplant take to create?  How many software revisions were there when you stopped?

2.  Did Commodore ever approach you for a deal with Emplant?

3.  I spoke to Simon Douglas a few times (AMAX author) and he said that you and him were friends.  Did you guys ever swap code or bounce problems off each other?  Do you know where he ended up?




Trivia:  Simon said (no pun intended) that he was reading an article about the folks that wrote the Mac emulator for the ST (Magic-sac) as they were porting it to the Amiga.  However, after some time they deemed the Amiga to 'weird' to write a Mac emulator on.  Something about Chip Memory...  Anyway, he jumped in and had a Mac emulator working to the boot screen in a weekend.  Of course, it took more time to go from the boot screen to a final product, but I thought it was a great story.
