I think you're a little of the mark... So far all of the Atari
compatible widgets that "emulate" a Macintosh currently use real Apple
ROMs obtain from where ever one obtains such things.
I am suprised that no one from Apple has yet pointed out that the use
of Apple's ROMs in things like the MagicSack and the Spectre128 are
blatantly illegal. Apple's license agreement clearly states that
Apple's software is for use in APPLE EQUIPMENT ONLY. Last time I
checked my Macintosh didn't say MagicSack or Laser128 anywhere on
it...

PS: Despite my surname, I have nothing to do with anyone mentioned
above. In fact, I have the name **long** before they did... :-)
