The big deal is:
A. it is illegal
B. it is piracy and you know exactly what you are asking somebody else to do.

    If you want the data found on the CoCo 1 or 2 ROMs buy a CoCo 1 or 2 and
copy it out yourself (or trade some of that stuff you were offerring in the
previous message for a CoCo1 or 2).  Don't try to condone piracy with the
argument that it sin't being marketted.  If Tandy wanted the code on the ROMs
to be Public Domain they would have released it to the Public.  Since they
haven't you do not have the right to copy and distribute that code.
