Just throwing this out there, but I wonder how hard it would be to
reverse engineer one of these and come up with details on how they can
be recreated anew... The only thing I can think of that may be
particularly difficult to recreate is the firmware contained on the
chips, but with the use of a chip flasher it should be possible to
download the firmware's, note the specific chips used, which firmware
goes where, and then use a chip flasher to reflash newly ordered chips
before they are soldered. Were someone to figure out how this could be
done, I'm sure they could make some decent money selling these kits to
the vintage community.
