Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

OK...I know where there is a will, and of course, there might be a way, so rather than being a critic or pessimist. here are some ideas to get it done:

(1) Provide a proposal of the new improvements requested in the software OS to Emu and request an NRE (non recurring engineering) cost for the change.  Ask for the rights to re-sell the new OS (my estimate is $30 to $75) to re-coup costs of the NRE.

(2) Request the source code and a compiler license from Emu in return for a fixed fee per license sold of the new compiled OS.  There are a number of us in the group, myself included, capable of coding the changes in whatever language that was originally used.  We could divide up the project among our few group programmers.....

(3) Find the the original coder at Emu and offer him about $50 x 100 users to take on the project.  Of course, project management will be required with schedules and milestones.  Otherwise, it might take him a few years and by that time, we might have sold our command station.

(4) There are other possibilities.... 

Without the original source code, it will take hundreds and hundreds of hours to reverse engineer the code at the machine code level.

I like that idea a lot - how about like while in edit mode there 
could be a button like tap pressed and held and then any of the 
buttons you push 1-16 the curser would jump to ...
