MPE Emulator
M. Perdue has heard from SRI in Switzerland. They claim to have an emulator but the actual hardware platform is unknown. In limited demonstration, everything appeared to have worked. SRI has concerns about licensing. The Board wondered about HP's previous statements about requiring emulators to run on HP hardware only. M. Perdue was encouraged to set a date for a joint meeting.

Treasure's Report
P. Edwards to call Hostway concerning recent bills. Since OpenMPE hasn't had any income this year, only one corporate income tax estimated bill has been paid. P. Edwards is anticipating that money to be refunded. D. Hofmeister to ask John Dunlop if he has any information from Hostway.

VM+/ix
See http://www.orbitsw.com/us/vmix.shtml. Perhaps Mark Klein should be invited an OpenMPE meeting? Orbit appears to be the 1st to market with an emulator. Maybe Orbit should be included in the emulator group?
