If the bits are in the .sys file, you could write a utility to let people extract the bits from teir own copy of the .sys file that they got with the CD-ROM. This clearly has no copyright infringement problems, in just the same way that HP-48 emulators are legally safe.
It *does* mean that the driver can't be used at boot time, unless you have a very ugly compile-it-into-the-kernel hack. Probably a user "download firmware" utility is required, after which the drive becomes operational. Ick. -- -Colin
