Does anyone have any idea what the SDS 940 has to do with Project Genie? The entry jumps from Project Genie to the hardware system without any connection between the two. I'm not a computer specialist, so I'm not familiar with any of this stuff. Also, were the two doctors directors of Project Genie or the creation of the SDS 940? This is a little bit confusing.129.176.151.6 04:00, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

The SDS 940 was the product sold based on the research of the project. Still needs work but should be better. W Nowicki (talk) 17:45, 16 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I agree that the article is confusing. I would like to see more elaboration of how much of Project Genie involved creation of new hardware vs. using the (pre-existing?) SDS 930. Also, I'd like to see more about the software aspects of Project Genie (if any). Riordanmr (talk) 21:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Actually, the BCC 500 was a really innovative system. The article could do well with a section on it. That it became part of Alohanet is beside the point. The real issue was the design. Their problem was financial ineptitude, not lack of talent. Yesterday, all my dreams... (talk) 03:34, 28 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
