It's more or less dead. All moved to downloading torrents at
<http://www.pleasuredome.org.uk/> now.

It is practically dead, Pleasuredome has it all available for download
providing you have the patience and the bandwidth. I was considering
offering my services again as a burner when my Bluray burner arrives, it
will only take 5x50GB disks! It would take 44 single or 22 dual layer
DVDs for a complete set, and that assumes no coasters are made!

Considering the price of drives these days its probably a better
option to just offer it as a loaded external drive.
I know I would prefer that over a pile of DVD's, and you could get it
for less than the cost of the blue ray blanks.
I know a halfdozen versions that hold around 300GB for around $70.

I could do that for someone... Shoot, there are Bufflo Branded usb/
nas drives for around $99. build it and config it all in the drive,
and run the mame games off any of your home pc's.

I don't know, but I would figure that even over a NAS drive, the
process would take less time that burning dvds or blue ray disks.
I'd assume an e-sata2 or a firewire drive would do the dump fastest.

I would **definatly** be interested in this...and, of course, be more than
willing to pay all incidental costs in addition to hardware,shipping etc.
