Actually, it includes a special 7800 that has had the encription defeated.
There must be some sort of simple modification one can make to the 7800 to
defeat the encryption that doesn't require a new BIOS...
... a jumper here, a cap there, maybe a chip or two.
I've been getting lots of E-mail from people on the ST newsgroups who are
now interested in writing games for the 2600. But not one of them wants to
port Bob's tools to the ST... bummer.
