Sorry to bring the thread back on topic... ;)

What would be considered "enough"?

Is it the binaries, the source or replacement parts?

He might feel that source and schematics could raise up a competitor.

Binary files or selling pre-programmed parts might be a better angle if you just want your existing cards up and running.

You might also consider a bounty proposal to reimburse him on his investment.

I don't feel confident that an unfocused "give us everything for free" approach is going to get very far.


Let me ask you something: do you recall an old, old ooooooooold thread on aw.net posted by someone who asked Thomas Dellert(sp) if he'd sell the plans for the DCE PPC cards?  Yeah, he said $250,000.  That was probably motivated by nothing but spite.  Jens has a vested interest in burying the Apollo cards above and beyond being a snarky dick about it.  So...I'd say it ain't never gonna happen.
