Sure this is a good path, and we do this occasionally. Since we often dissect the units, however, a random owner we do not personally know is unlikely to send us their gear (which is perfectly understandable).HunterKiller wrote:There is an easier way, when you can't find one or buy one, just hit some forums around the web, talk to some people. Tell them that they'll get your plugin for free, when you use their hardware to emulate it. Some people are so generous, you'll end up with more than one piece of the same gear, giving you a wider variety and more research and possibly a better overall product. It all depends on how much one is willing to interact with people, form partnerships and be a generally all-round great person to deal with. Anything can be done when people come together in aid of one another. When competition is transcended and co-operation becomes the norm.
