I have that problem with my Data General mini. I'm not supposed to have
ANY of the tapes I have. The machine is mine, but all software -
microcode included I'd bet are property of Data General Corporation as
thier licenses have long expired and I'm not the licensee anyway.
When the U.S. Forest Service retired thier fleet of DG MVxxxx computers,
they did actually destroy all thier tapes, docs, etc. Even formatted the
drives.
I'm lucky to have what I've got really.
Illegal copies though they may be, I rather doubt I'm getting pounded by
anyone for hobbying with this machine. I suspect the worst a judge would
do is order me to destroy/turn over the tapes.
Regards,
Jeff
