If the copyrights are held by MCCM, they might be persuaded to re-publish
it in MCCW.
If the copyrights are held by someone else, they could consider to
re-publish or make it public domain. Neither MK nor Gouda sells MSX
hardware anymore (do they still exist?), so they won't lose money on making
their schematics public.

I prefer a central web site:
- you can access it any time, from any place
- it's free
- I will probably only use one or two designs
- if you really want a CD with all designs, maybe the site maintainer can
make one (like the funet CD and MEP CD)
