   Forgive me if I am off-mark, but I have not been around for a bit.

   I do believe I read Linux will be the OS for the development tools
for PSX II. For reasons of stability. I have also been reading quite a
bit about how difficult development for PSX II will be. Doesn't make
much sense to me, technology should mature and become easier to use
over time, not more difficult... albeit I also read Dreamcast-like
results could be obtained without the extra effort. To only harness
1/6 of the machines power without extraordinary effort? Odd...

   I do know From Software is doing a King's Field type RPG for the
system's launch, which will coerce me to have to spend the $390..
