  • How did you manage to "lose" the source?

    How much source have you "lost"?
    Was it 'C' or assembler?

    Even if you do manage to read the device, remember that it will just be "raw" binary - not full source. So you're still going to have plenty of work to do to get back to any proper source code...

    How long would it take to re-write from scratch? That may well be easier/cheaper than trying to "extract" the binary, disassemble it, and turn it back into useful source...
