I thought it was the other way around, that Jeri Ellsworth took
a break from C-One development, found that it was possible to
recreate a Commodore 64 in FPGA and eventually found partners
to work with, namely Tulip/Commodore, Ironstone and Mammoth Toys.

They all should be credited, but it was neither the holder of the
Commodore trademark nor the toy manufacturer who came up with the
idea to find someone to develop a C64 TV-game.

Regarding the C-One, for unfortunate reasons I believe Jeri and
Jens went separate ways, and somewhere about there most of the
C-One development stopped. Credits to Tobias though, who has made
an excellent Amstrad CPC core and was about to take on PAL C64 too.
