   I suspect their first move would be a 'cease and desist' order before   
   even attempting to drag you to court! ;)   
      
   As for trs80 hardware compatibility, from what I've (admittedly rather   
   hurriedly) perused of your postings I'm not sure you're going to have   
   much luck, with altered memory maps, totally different ROM, keyboard   
   controllers etc. Is the disk controller the same?   
      
   Having said that, wouldn't be a lot of work to massage either MESS, xtrs   
   and/or my FPGA to get something up-and-running I wouldn't think!?!
