    I suspect they were a surprise hit though; they got a lot of press, even aside from the BIOS fracas.

    They almost seemed like a joke, someone assembling a bunch of parts-box stuff (see: keyboard with Windows keys? Supposedly the LCD controller hlitches into an OSD mode like it’s off-the-shelf for a TV too) and deciding “hell, let’s sell it.”

    It will be interesting to see what they do in terms of a round 2. There’s low-hanging fruit improvements (at least emulate EGA or VGA so we can play Civ 1 or get a decent GeoWorks experience)
