 +A number of people have tried but IMHO nobody has beat manual methods yet:
 +  * Robert B: experimented with using neural networks to capture 7400 series chips. Promising, but last I saw needs more testing
 +  * John M: misc tests. Main result was that active layer should be feasible if delayered
 +  * Ken S: tried some things, but think didn't get far
 +  * Visual 6502: don't recall details except that they claimed although they could get some automated, it took more time to fix mistakes than it would to do from scratch
