I have never heard of Prototype Alpha. The idea for HAL-IC even preceeded
HAL (almost a year and a half now). It was decided that it would be nearly
impossible (the TI-86 wasn't even announced until a year later), so it was
decided that we would write one for the computer. Now that we have the
written it once and have the 86, HAL-IC will be not only feasible, but
likely.

Prototype Alpha sounds interesting. Can you send more information?
