Proof of our inherent superiority is patently redundant. ;-P
I don't think there are any out there -- Commodore guarded them jealously
back in the day since they owned CSG, and when CSG was disbanded and sold,
the patents and chip designs were *not* sold with it. If anyone knows where
they are, it's presumably some legal drone at Gateway.
