Do not ask me why; I am not prepared to have that discussion with you. I have explained why over and over again. If you want to read why, go back and look at one of the other hundred threads just like this where I have already answered this question, and just for your information, U.S. copyright laws say that software is copyrighted for 70 years. That means, they're all illegal to download until the 2050s and later. BIOS files, however, can endanger the status of this website and get this site shut down, so we all have to keep our mouths shut on where to get these files in order to keep this site running.
