Ha! Are you me? :-) Had almost the same experience, minus the database. Friend of the owner wanted to buy a company and asked us to evaluate their code to see if it was maintainable enough to add new features. I got a zip of hundreds of firmware projects each representing a different version. They were all on the same basic platform but with different hardware features #ifdef'd, or customized for a particular customer. The code itself wasn't that bad (not that good either!), but their developer clearly had no idea what Version Control meant. In the end I gave the thumbs up and he bought the company, then ended up having to redesign the product from scratch since much of the originally designed-in components were no longer available. He did his Due Diligence for the software, but ignored the hardware side!
