Funny, rather than admit that you made a mistake, you introduce
mockery.  This just shows how nearsighted and out of touch you are.
Software developers aside, here are some REAL hardware developments in
the past 10 years, here's what I got off the top of my head.  BTW: by
REAL, I mean these are not clones of existing hardware, or in your case
crippled clones, instead they're original designs.

CFFA - Rich Dreher
8-Bit Baby - Axel Muhr
Lance GS - ///SHH Systeme
MicroDrive Turbo - ///SHH Systeme
Uther Card - a2RetroSystems
NadaNet - Michael J. Mahon
PS/2 Mouse Adapter - VintageWare
IIGS to SCART Adapter - VintageWare
ProDOS ROMDrive - Terrence J. Boldt
Semi-Virtual Diskette - Eric Rothfus
.... plus a few more I surely missed.

Likewise, people who have new hardware works-in-progress deserve
acnowlegments as well, here is a short list of just csa2 readers which
I know are actively developing something new and original.

Ed Eastman
Bryan Parkoff
Tony Diaz
Glenn Jones
J

There are others who may not want to be mentioned and some that I'm not
aware of. They all deserve assurance that their designs, JEDEC files,
ROM code, and accompanying software isn't going to be distributed
without their permission. This is the "Development Community" that I'm
referring to, in addition to the software development base.  Don't
scoff at their efforts.
