I have been dabbling with the 1571 roms, trying out different mods to the roms
(using eproms and such). I am wondering if I can sell my hypothetical UPgrade,
would I be breaking the copy right laws since some of the code in the chip was
not written by me???  I am asking as I have binary images of the newest 1571
upgrades and have installed them into my drive. If I can figure out some useful
changes, would I be in violation of copy right laws by selling a new chip. Any
legal amateures out there want to take a crack at this one??  (BTW: I bought
the newest 1571 upgrade directly from commodore, so it ain't pirated!!) :)
