It takes "dirty" work to build the interface between our synthetic CPU and the Mac ROMs and System File. The work isn't actually very hard, but whoever does it would never be able to work on ROMlib (our OS/Toolbox rewrite). This is something we plan to do, but the order in which we do things is very important from business and legal perspectives. Sorry that I don't have the time to go into this more in depth, but it's something that we are well aware of over here. --Cliff ctm@ardi.com
