I have a Fidelity Mach II LA, which are probably a dime a dozen.  I keep
fantasizing about cracking it open, soldering the input switches and lights to a
custom bread-board interface which would attach to a computer.  Then write an
ICS-capable program to controll the Mach II and play like any other software
program on the internet, just for grins.

I've also wondered about getting the Mach II ROM dumped and running the program
on a 68000 simulator in software.  That might be even easier, except I have no
idea how to dump a ROM.

Ever heard of anyone doing something like that?

There's a guy who wrote an custome interface for the Novag Sapphire which runs
on FICS, but the Novag already had an inerface (serial?).
