I was wondering if people think that we could convince Apple to open
the source code to GS/OS. If they were to do that, it would mean that
we could more easily enhance it to take advantage of new developments
in hardware and possibly even produce ports to other 65816 systems (the
SuperCPU accelerator available for the Commodore 64 and 128, for
example)
Do people think that it would even be worth starting a petion about
this? I for one think it might be, as Apple no longer supports the
software AND already distributes it as Freeware.
