Hello

>  - Is it illegal to make a compatible one with the existing VDP?

It's an on-the-edge situation. The information I get from the letter is
this:
If they negotiate NOW with Yamaha, and make the VDP afterwards,
they will lose a law-suit. If they just make a new VDP, compatible with
the older one they won't...

That's no problem, since they've gotten permission of ASCII!!

Using existing components is no problem too I guess...
I don't know exactly what the guidelines are on this.

Greetings,

Sander
