The comparison between Segal categories and A infinity categories
works in close analogy with the comparison between A infinity spaces
(for any A infinity operad) and Segal's special Delta spaces. The
topological comparison was worked out in papers of Thomason and
Fiedorowicz, themselves analogues of earlier work of Thomason and
myself comparing infinite loop space machines. The categorical
comparison will appear in a paper I'm writing --- I've talked about
it at MSRI and the Newton Institute. Peter May

Yes, that's what I had in mind
question is: does it carry over to (Fukaya) A_\infty cats and Segal
cats?
