I've long wondered about the problems with copying ROMs. OK, I understand that there are legal issues, but are there technical problems too? Shouldn't you be able to read each byte of the ROM and save it to a file, much like the programs that copy Mac ROMs. Then, couldn' tyou take that ROM file and dump it to a new EPROM? I'm no EE so maybe I just don't see the issue here. Can someone explain? Eagle -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
