well i'm involved with an emulator project that works within such

www.enb-emulator.com

IF the parties that be contact you that is one thing if your ignored 
like in the prev posts and it is non-profit to restore/improve it is 
something else

but yeah it is plenty grey...but as long as you don't make a buck off it
and show you have tried to contact whomever you should be ok (anyway 
that is what is stated on all the old driver board sites for clones...and
other such abandoned drivers etc...contact us if you have a problem

but if we went by your logic i'd never be able to 'copy' the driver for
my bubble memory card (hint) in order for it to run....or you'd never be
able to reverse engineer something as an emulator

anyway don't wanna start a war here but that is my view

anyhooo........(suddenly lusts after a bubble memory card driver)
