The suggestion was made that instead of using a cartridge, code that works
like the MAC ROMs but doesn't violate Apple's copyright could be used. This
is a great idea. No one has done it yet, which is one of the reasons why no
Apple clones (other than STs :-) exist yet.

It is a technical difficulty, or a legal one? How does Phoenix et al. get
away with IBM clone ROMs? Licensing? Work-alike?
