ITV Platform


About a hackers/developers platform:
A kit for development on a standard wintel/PC would defenitely be interesting, 
but don't forget that there is nothing for softwareavalibitity on a platform, 
as developmenttools for the platform itself (yes, it would be tedious to edit 
code on a standard TV, but suport for a VGA-like monitor shouldn't be 
impossible). As an example, look at the Amiga-community: There haven't been 
any support since '91 or so, but activity is still high. This is solely 
because of all 'hobby'-developers out there.

(PS phase5, an Amiga-bound company are developing an interesting technology 
for video-drivers based on a listprocessor. se www.phase5.de and their A/Box 
project for further info DS)
