I don't think so. If the company could have been aquired in tact without the debt at such high levels, AND the AAA was done, included 24 bit basic display modes, 16 bit stereo audio, full mem protected mutli-tasking, and the move to RISC was through prototype, then it might have been an attractive propostion to build on the existing nich market and "be there" in the midst of the ever-quickenin DTV/MM revolution. However, none of that stuff was imminent, just waiting for financing to go to production, the company has been dissassembled arlready, has virtually no developer support in real-world terms and an existing technology which at this stage in its life is rather ho-hum. The only possible part of the technolgy I see anyone being interested in is CD32 and possibley only Phllips would be interested from the view of insuring a competitor stays dead. wmc – via Autopilot!
