Insiders assume that Netscape's initiative failed because of a personal animosity between young entrepreneur Marc Andreessen and the very conservative Nintendo boss Hiroshi Yamaushi. SCO wasn't able to follow up their plans, for they have to concentrate their resources to the development of the 64 bit Unix they have codenamed Gemini. Yet the kernel version 2.11 based Linux/N64 doesn't use Nintendo's 64 bit address mode - which is not really a disadvantage, considering the 4 MBytes of memory available. A further problem: Nintendo Kyoto headquarter so far has steadfastly refused to build cards in significant volumes or to include Linux/N64 in their distribution channels.
