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

E-MU does have a point. I haven't been able to find any of these ROMs for
much less than the price
E-MU sales them for directly, and I missed that one myself. So that might be
the best route to take,
at least you can give them a whole bunch of you know what if you do that and
they tell you they're on
backorder. That would be terrible for business, so you'd probably get much
better satisfaction.

  You can buy ROMs direct from E-MU (US only) below MSRP. We sell them at
  the same price you would get them from your local dealer. We should have
  them all in stock. Trying call us direct for exact pricing, 831
  438-1921.
  Why some stores support the ROMS and others don't is a worrisome issue
  for else as well. We didn't make these ROMS to not be accessible to you
  (the user). It's an ongoing battle to have our dealers fully stock our
  accessories. Generally, the story you get from the salesman on the floor
  is incorrect. It's easy to blame the manufacture, when in reality, its
  their fault for not placing a replenishing order in a timely fashion.
