I'd imagine the problem is more about obtaining documentation, ROMs, OS files etc. Emulators of questionable legality have always been around, for platforms more commercially interesting than this. But it's rarely lead to legal action.
- musicale 5y agoIt's actually up and running in an emulator on the above public access site. However, the tape dumps seem to be unavailable currently. I wonder whether some Illinois/PLATO alumni and/or the Computer History Museum might be interested in making them more widely available. Other sites presumably have the tapes as well.
