Funny how things get twisted...
I just found the original court documents for the lawsuit from Mike J. Henry, and it exhonorates all parties named in the suit. Case closed.
The Kracker Jax stuff clearly was less advanced than my stuff, which is not surprising since the author got lessons from me during user group meetings.
I also just found the original Apple emulation disks that were sent to me for evaluation. The author claimed to have written this code himself, but the executable contained all of the Resource disassembly information in it! This clearly indicated it was reverse engineered from another program - and it was, because I contacted the original author and let him know. We refused to carry this product because of the infringement and all kinds of mud slinging started as a result. Kevin and his clan could say whatever they wanted, I have the proof from the original disks and the original author who compared the data himself as well. Pretty funny that when I called Kevin on it, he immediately sent a new version with all of the Resource info stripped... a bit too late.
Yes, SYBIL was sold. We sold several thousand of them. In fact, SYBIL is the reason we got into Macintosh emulation. We made a deal with Readysoft to make a version of SYBIL for Amax (a Mac+ emulator) so you could use the Amiga drives to read/write Mac 400/800 format (something not possible with a stock Amiga). After we produced a few thousand units, complete with a method for Readysoft to detect and disallow already existing SYBIL units being sold, they decided to make their own hardware to do the same (which they never did). So, we were stuck with boxes having "Made for Readysoft" and such. I was so ticked that I decided to write a Mac emulation to compete against them - which is how EMPLANT became to be.
