For many purposes, the AMAX (mac on Amiga) and SpectreGCR (mac on ST) are
currently clones.  Just as any other 'clone' maker, these products leave
out the roms to prevent law suits.  It may be that selling 128K ROMs for these
pseudo clones is whats helping keep Apples bottom line healthy. 

As long as Apple sells 128K ROMS (or 256K) any clone will play.
What would a "real clone" have to do to get Apple to stop selling ROMS?
And until that happens, clones have a real niche.
