Actually, there are at least two Mac-em products available on
workstations:

Quorum has/will have two products out on SGI platforms:
	A development environment, that, from what I understand,
	allows you to compile and link a Mac app and run it on
	a workstation with a look-n-feel that matches the
	workstation's env.

	A full-blown emulator that also has the matching look-n-feel.

Liken is a Mac-emulator from Xcellerated Systems (?) that works 
on several platforms (Sun, HP, and soon IBM).  It got a good review
in Open Systems Today a few months ago.  B&W only (but color RSN), 6.0.7
(but 7.0 RSN) and reasonable performance.  I called Liken and asked
if they were doing an SGI port and a sales guy said they were thinking
about it.  He also said it's only going to take 4 months for the
IBM port, so if they decide to, it won't be too far away.  

Liken has sold many copies, and so far has avoided Apple's wrath.
