The ME-4000 firmware was provided by a headerfile when I released the driver 
some years ago. This headerfile was removed because of licensing concerns. We 
are interested to get the ME-4000 working again with COMEDI. We would provide 
you with the firmware file if it is no more available on the COMEDI site.

How is the copyright implemented for such firmware files?

Best regards,
Gebhardt
