You can get it from the AmiNet, actual version is V3.2a. You can use every 
MacROM that is at least 512kb or 1MB in size. From the price/power tag it is 
the best Mac-Emulator at this time. In a few days there will be a great 
competition between AmaxIV, EmplantMac and ShapeShifter in a german Amiga 
magazin, then I could tell you more.
