	I have been wondering about the legality of the following:

	Suppose you take a programmable RISC based CPU and make it
immulate a 68030.  Next you write ROM functions with the same name as
those in the Mac (so programmes can find them), but maybe optimise them
better.  Then write an OS that has the same functions as the Mac OS.
Use the TIGA chip to control graphics with a Mac emmulator in ROM so
that windows open to a "mac-like" screen.  Now market it as a Mac
compatible.
