Where are the G-Rex blueprints? Maybe the makers would be willing to let them go as they don't like to manufacture them anymore. They could be enhanced and and a batch could be made.

Just 2 cents here...

Even assuming you could get an "audience" with some ex-DCE engineer, they'd tell you flatly that they wanted an exorbitant amount of dollars for the "blueprints".  They once quoted someone (don't remember if the thread was over here or at aw.net) $250,000 for the PPC card design (excuse me, desing) alone.

I'd imagine they'd ask a cool million for the G-Rex and PPC card that matches it.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

Hence the "2 cents" ;)...
This was expected but sometimes it's nice to dream...

Yeah you'd have to either be some kind of insane philanthropist/hobbyist, or charge $25,000 for each one you sold (because let's face it, the total number of A4000D and A3000D users out there is probably in the low hundreds, if that). :P
