As distressing as it will seem to us 'legit' Macintosh owners, you don't
need to buy the 128k ROMs.  A friend of mine with an Amiga has a version
of the Amax software hacked by pirates that reads in the Mac ROM from
disk.  Actually he got the whole Amax thing and the Mac ROM on disk for
the cost of downloading off a pirate board somewhere.  

The interlace isn't very annoying either.  He can also make the screen
larger than the traditional 512x342, so in all, he will get a psuedo-mac
whose screen is larger than mine, faster than mine, and several hundred
bucks cheaper than I paid for my real MacPlus.  Sigh....
