I am aware that Sony has closed the doors to the Yaroze and I find it very sad indeed that they are not encouraging upstarts to buy into their technology. We are a small developer here in South Africa and the reason that I would like to get my hands on one is to play with some ideas that I have for a game that we have developed for the PC, to see if it would be feasible to port or not. Sony's developer kit is very very expensive and way beyond a small company like mine's reach. Our exchange rate is about 12:1 Rands to Pounds, so I guess that £500 would be about as much as I would pay for such a system. Some people here barely earn that much in a month, so it is really expensive. If you would be so kind as to ask your contacts on my behalf I would really appreciate it. My hope is that someone bought a system and either lost interest in it, or found that it was way too technical for them and have subsequently stopped using it. If there is such a person, I would be prepared to negotiate a deal with them, but it must be at a fair price. Thanks again for responding. Regards Don Lewis-Enright . . Can anyone help him? Warren
