I agree, they are over priced and having cheaper access to rom would strongly stimulate the e-mu community. Any idea when it will be ready?�

Regardless of how much we love the E-MU's, it is an obsolete out-of-production unsupported piece of kit. The ROM's shouldn't command the 'excessive' second-hand value that they do. If the flash-ROM innovation devalues the ROM market then ALL of us will benefit. The probable outcome would be a healthy exchange of ROM's, all of us would have access to the entire E-MU library (instead of waiting months for 'that ROM' to appear on ebay).
I see no problems at all.
Bring it on Jack.
