   I think the real dope on that is that one cannot copy the Mac roms onto a 
   disk without risking an immediate (they have shown the willingness) lawsuit.

   Dave Small's GCR is probably the way to go, since it is the only one I know
   of that reads Mac disks directly.  For that matter, I think Aladin has gone
   out of business, which only leaves the Magic Sac (old Dave Small hack), 
   Spectre 128 (much better Dave Small hack, everything the GCR is without the
   disk compatabiliy), and the GCR.  Also, Magic Sac is no longer supported
   by Dave (a company change).
