I must say I don't understand what the fuss is about.

If anyone want things to happen with GoMMC, buy one (or
two ;-) and make the suggestions. It's unlikely to happen
any other way. Because, indeed, GoMMC is and will remain
(even with sales now exceeding 50) a hobby project, a
labour of love, sparked by my own requirements and some
of others, insofar as I find them interesting enough to
do.

It's all about finished as well, as far as I'm concerned.
It does the job of 'taking over' all floppy as well as
harddisc based functionality. 100%. Basically, that's it.

I will not release relevant material needed to produce or
'continue' development to anyone. Kudos to those that do.
I don't.

So, indeed, 'get em while they're hot' and spread the word.
It's the best contribution you can make. And you'll get to
make suggestions as well !

Yes, by all means sponsor Dave Moore as well. He's doing a
great job 'getting it all together in one place'.

I do have at least one other idea up my sleeve (some people
already know about it ...).

Sounds quite attractive.

Indeed.
