Because the Mac ROM images that are available are ILLEGAL COPIES! Assuming that Apple has actually stopped selling the ROMs except as replacement parts, then Readysoft will probably provide a Mac ROM-compatible kernal with their software that will be, well, less compatible. They could then provide a program for the owner to copy the Mac ROM image from a Mac onto disk and use it instead.
