I will quote from an article in the September issue of Currrent Notes
which I just received:

"As this is composed, the decision ostensibly sits on the desk of the
President of Apple Computer, John Scully.  If it's thumbs up, the
cartridge could move rather rapidly to the market, and be a vitiamin 
"M" (money) motivational boost for Apple developers because it would 
expand their potential market by another 250,000 machines and growing.
The chances of Apple recognizing the value of this, and/or deciding to
give a competitor, the ST, a leg up appears slim at this juncture."

Hope this helps...
