I hope this isn't too hypothetical:  Atari sells TOS ROMS; what would the legal
position be if someone sold an emulator that mounted genuine ROMS and used
them to mimic an ST?  Would that be the same as Spectre?  I suspect that a
large number of TOS 1.0 ROMS could be bought from individuals if there were
a demand for them.
