While I'm aware of the "pirateware" version of the Apple ROMs, the real ones
aren't hard to get at all, and you don't have to go through Apple or their
dealers to get them.
 
Up until last Saturday, I worked at the local Ami-store.  We had more than one
distributor that could provide them, and they are available from almost every
mailorder house that sells Amax, or the AmigaTosh drive (a mac-compatible 3.5"
800Kb floppy drive with internal sockets for the ROMs)...
 
I won't even pretend to know where they're getting them though...heh, looks
like it isn't just Commodore that has to worry about "grey market" products.
