I won't discuss the limits among software, firmware
and hardware. If you consider VHDL design software,
fine. It's a thin line these days anyway :)

It took me a year to come up with a TIA core that
covers all the little details. Not so difficult, but
neither trivial. Adam Wozniak is not the first one
trying to implement it (neither the first one who
offer me to buy my core).

As I already mention, I'm in the middle of a
negotiation (not to sell my core, but to partnership
in the development of new products which is what I'm
interested on as an Atari fan). As part of the clauses
of the contract, I won't be allowed to release the
code in a while, since it will become property of the
company. Please don't ask more details (neither go
public with this) since I'm not supposed to talk about
that.
