there is a MAc Clone: the Amiga (no, i don't have one)
They do it by using old Mac 128kROMs to provide the system calls.
The three parts: Mac-compatible floppy drive, external circuit card
and the ROM set total about $500 in the magazines.

how they get the ROMs in commercial quantities, i do not know...
