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

A few weeks ago I looked for the usual legacy gear support via www.emu.com which used to be redirected to a creativelabs page that had links to legacy gear, only I couldn't find it. I thought I had done something wrong until today when someone wanted to join our little group because files were no longer in the most recent usual spot. If its really gone again, this would make the third time I am aware of that it has disappeared.  (The previous time, evidently people complained and after 6 months or so, it was put back.)

A google search for "e-mu legacy gear support" included the following: http://www.creative.com/emu/support/downloads/legacy/ . So it still seems to be there even if the creative front website doesn't have a link.

well, we all know Creative bought E-Mu for their DSP designs and have only 
been playing lip service to their pro side for years....

The ridiculous statement along the lines of� 'no support offered any more' Creative get-out clauses, are also shameful, if not totally criminal.
How much does it cost to keep a data base functioning, as an important resource and a� 'thank you' to a loyal customer base.?�

I suppose they expect user groups to provide user support from now on? Typical sleazy business 'practices'!�

A cynical and fraudulent organisation not fit for purpose!

�With my 2 x Proteus 2500's, Virtuoso, and XL7 alone, I've spent almost �4,000.00
(Yes... Four Effing Thousand Quid!!) � (plus more investment in loads of extra Rom cards) and I also have a Carnaval..

Creative?�

Creative effing sleazy rip-off!

Oooops. I spoke too soon.� Evidently the links do not work--at least the one I tried didn't.� Here's what I got (not sure if its my internet that's messing up or their server):
