I highly doubt that Amikit pays any royalties for using the roms which are licensed by Ainc still? Or they got a stock of original Commodore 3.1 ROMS??? If Amikit provides them legally, i invite them to produce proof here on this forum. How do I know that Cloanto is paying royalties, or if they just say so??? I found that a lot of the dealers simply burn the roms on eproms (not regular roms), and don't pay any royalties to AInc or anyone. Also some people in this thread did ask about programming roms in the past on A.org (this exact forum has postings on this topic too!). So please this whole topic is a bit sketchy in 2008. I contacted A Inc about purchasing 3.1 roms (not one pair but 10) and never heard from them. This tells you a lot about Amiga in 2008. This should have been thought of in the 90s when amiga was a platform and business existed. If someone sells the roms for $20 (chips can cost $13-15) then good fo them, if they can be bothered to do this for $5 profit.
