    Eggman has been one of the longest running rom burners worldwide, collecting probably the largest single collection in the world and offering it to anyone on CD/DVD/HD for minimal cost. I purchased his whole collection a while back and it came on 208 DVD-Rs. Since then it expanded with the newer CD/DVD systems to fill 20 750GB HDs. Mad but dedicated collecting you have to agree.

    If you want to see a bit about him you can check out his site at http://www.eggmansworld.com

    He has taken down most of his rom related stuff, but if you want to see his amazing file storage server setup check it out on his site here.

    I saw that he posted the links on the site, which is very useful to collectors and newbies.

    How did he avoid prosecution/lawsuits and all that sort of thing? Distrubuting ROMs isn't exactly encouraged by The Man.

    He kept it underground and completely word or mouth.

    Thanks for the tip greencity. I had a quick look at the romcollector site and it seems to have quite a lot of stuff. Any idea who is behind the site?

    Sadly not a single Commodore system on there though!
