Of course THAT is illegal. But I doubt the ORIGINAL AMax (or Spectre on
the ST) is illegal. If you pirate one program it doesn't make the
original program illegal!

(There is also a pirated version of Spectre 128 which is purely software
based. The original Spectre needs the MAC ROMs and the developers of
Spectre 128 of course don't like their product being pirated.)
