Oooh. One of the first Target novels I bought, and the first two Troughton episodes I had. Always had a soft spot for it. Cracking little story. 👍🏻

They’re sticking with their story that it was actually functional, as demoed, in June last year. I’ve got multiple sources in Apple engineering who tell me it wasn’t.

I am also equally sure that they eventually did get it running, and, as they say, results were poor.
