Thought #1 - Is Apple going to let them do this? They can build all the
hardware they want, but Apple still owns the copyright for the Apple ][
firmware. Unless Apple goes along with it, they aren't going to be able to
(legally, that is) duplicate the ROM contents or use any of the Apple owned
software.
There exist non-infringing copies of the Apple ][ firmware - Basis,
Franklin, and Laser128?
Thought #2 - They want somebody to write a web
browser for an Apple ][
???? A TCP/IP stack I can see, but a whole browser? Unless they're
thinking about using Lynx, I suspect not.
Aw. I like Lynx. Can a modern style browser be written without the
bloat?
