Why not put the binary files for the ROM's and the manuals online so people can modify this stuff? What do they possibly have to gain by not giving us this stuff?

Something to do with the Fastlane and 060 cards not being made by individuals, the company that made it has the rights, even if the developer still had the code he couldnt legally release it.

Not letting us be able to modify this really, really, really old and UNSUPPORTED hardware by holding back information says more about the people that have these rights then they are aware.


You should go to Phase5 and have a moan at them. :)

No, if someone wanted to spend the time and trace back the extra address signals to see which CPLD they went to and look at what signals the chipgets by changing the jumpers the code required should be easy to write, the Fastlane only uses small CPLD's.
The fact is there are almost no businesses left to do the work and hobbiests pick "interesting" projects.
