Jed-- I do not have any desire to encroach on your responsibilities as Hardware Engineer for S.T.U.N. Runner (STUN). In fact, I realize that you are essential to the success of STUN. I know that you have invested a great deal of time in the hardware and have an interest in seeing it through to production. I apologize for not ensuring that you were involved in the recent decision to change the audio board on the prototype from the Hard Drivin' audio board to the SAC board. Lyle expressed a desire to have music in the game before the Focus group next Tuesday, and the Audio group felt that this would be the easiest way to go. I made the mistake of asking Tim to look into exactly how we should do this -- I should have asked you or at least asked Tim to ask you. I assumed that since this is just a temporary change and that we needed it done right away, you and Rick would prefer that we handle it. I will try to keep you involved as much as possible. I hope you will be somewhat tolerant though, if we don't do a perfect job of keeping you involved. But feel free to remind me that you are being left out if you notice we are neglecting you! We are currently trying to get a second system going so the programmers can continue working on one system while we put the other system in ROM in the cabinet. It appears as though it is a technician job, but we will let you know if we need your assistance. Feel free to come by and check with Glenn on the progress. The Focus Group starts Tuesday afternoon at 4:00. I hope you can attend! Thanks!! John
