msxrestarter: I propose you contact FRS (sd_snatcher) in private

Didn't realise I was doing something wrong, just wanted to help someone out who's interested in keeping msx alive by developing or doing research However, I don't wanna get into a lot of trouble so I think I reconsider my offer to dump the NMS1212 I do have another solution : if you make me a good offer you can buy my NMS1212 cartridge so you can investigate it as much as you need

@msxrestarter (and anyone else). It's not so much that you're doing anything 'wrong', which is why I didn't say anything to either of you. The problem is that technically exchanging copyrighted ROMs *is* illegal. While trying to better emulate an RS232 device is not something MRC would loose any sleep over, it is technically illegal to solicit the copyrighted ROMs and MRC is liable for anyone asking for these ROMs on our site. This is why officially we are required by law to moderate any messages which 'ask for warez' on our site. So, don't worry, nobody is mad at you, but do remember that legally you're not allowed to ask for copyrighted material on MRC and legally MRC is not allowed to serve as a platform for what would officially be termed 'software piracy'. Don't hate us, talk to your local congressman instead to get those darn laws changed!

Ok, message understood, won't happen again

I prefer the term 'software copyright infringement' over 'software piracy'. According to wikipedia both terms are official, but copyright infringement is quite different from piracy at sea.
