    Hi all,

    I just spoke to Darren Melbourne from Ironstone Partners,
    and I'm now completely happy that they respect the C64 community
    and are willing to embrace it rather than close it down. Darren
    himself is a huge C64 fan (he even knows the significance of
    Martin Galway's SID chip).

    Ironstone should release their own press release soon which
    should clarify matters, but the only people who should worry
    about getting sued are the people releasing unauthorised Commodore
    products in the retail chain. That press release had large parts (including
    the numbers) that were unauthorised by them. Yes, the numbers were fiction.

    There should also be a positive development on the C-One very soon,
    too.

    *phew*

    Chris

    Excuse my ignorance, but was there a special Galway edition
    of the SID chip, or did you mean something else?

    Martin's SID chip had a particularly nice filter setting, and he composed purely for that.
    Thus any recording from that chip is particularly significant for Galway
    fans.
    Of course the same could be said of the SID chip of any composer, but we
    happen to have Martin's here at C64Audio, along with this source code disks, which is why I mentioned it.

    No special editions though.

    Aha. Something like when the composer conducts his own orchestra.

    I don't know if you guys saw it, but I found this in the Technology news
    on
    Yahoo!...


    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1093&ncid=1093&e=2&u=/pcworld/20030714/tc_pcworld/111556

    It's based on a press release which should never have been released, since
    it was done
    without the consent of Ironstone partners, and which seriously misrepresents the position of that company, and who seem to have no intention of harming
    the C64
    community, based on actually talking to them today.

    Just goes to show you only get one chance to make a first impression.

    Why does this sound like they're watching the reaction from the
    users world-wide and now they're backpeddling. We are the ones
    that are keeping this machine going, and also the ones who are
    in control. (Example: RIAA vs PSP users) It would be smart
    of someone in their company to join this newsgroup.
