I stumbled upon an interesting comment on this subject:

"the Met@Box design was not [released], due to the death of the firmware designer."

This is actually the first time I've come across a claim that someone's death caused the AmiJoe project to fail. So far I've thought the AmiJoe was Thomas "Don" Rudloff's pet project at Met@box that never went beyond prototype stage due to unresolved problems with the PCI and memory controller chip. I've never heard before that there was someone else supposed to do the firmware part (except that they wanted to license an m68k emulator from Haage&Partner at one point). Can anyone clarify?
