I've known about some of these systems before, but I never hear about
them much, they didn't seem to be usable systems.  So far people have
mentioned some Macintosh emulation packages for other computers, or
outright Mactintosh compatible machines.  These are what I know of so far:

		Macintosh Compatible Computer List

Name		Host computer	Mechanism	Limitations?	Price?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outbound	Outbound laptop	Apple ROMs
Spectre GCR	Atari ST	Apple ROMs
Amax??		Amiga		Apple ROMs
Liken		Sun Sparc	emulation no license
??????		NeXT
Hydra		ISA card	Apple ROMs
Cork		Cork desktop	Apple ROMs

Please post or mail additions or corrections.   Can any of these
machines be considered as viable alternatives to actually buying a
Macintosh?  If one already owns one of the above computers, the
emulation package might be cheaper than buying another computer.  Could
someone buy one of the above systems and hope to use it as a Macintosh
only?  Can the above systems do everything that Apple Macintosh
machines can?  Also, which companies have been threatened or sued by
Apple?
