	Spectre 128s are made by Gadgets by Small.  They do not use cloned
Mac 128 ROMs.  They use actual Mac128K Roms, usually sold by Apple dealers,
under an agreement by Apple and Small not to market a device that has to
make use of the most current version of Mac ROMs.
	That said, I have to say that the Spectres are very good Mac emulators
with very few applications that refuse to run (those that don't usually
broke the rules anyway).  There will even be a hardware addon to read
Mac disks directly.
