That is what I gathered when I spoke with him about
it, I'd have to say, over 2 years ago, as it is.
There is quite a lot of incomplete hardware/software
out there. It would be nice if they were either taken
down, or completed.
In answer to the Microdrive being expensive, I find
it rather reasonable, considering what it takes to
produce such an item on such a small scale. Having
done this myself, I think what 'is' out there, and
complete, is very reasonable.
