Too many custom chips and (later) too small a market to justify it.


The //GS was cloned, according to Tony Diaz - he saw the prototype that never went to market. I think he said it was around 1993... eh, next time I see him in chat, I'll get the details.

I think it was a VTech (ie Laser) but I may be mistaken.

My comments stand.  Management is seldom the first to get the
word.
