The biggest problem with a Mac emulator, that I know of, is Apple's
licensing of System software.  Even if you get legal ROM's, which are
tough to come by, Apple's system software license specifies that it
can only be run on Apple-produced hardware, or else it is a violation
of license.  Obviously Apple has not cared about AMAX, or the ST
thing, but I'm quite sure that a NeXT Mac emulator would offend their
lawyers.

I'd love to see one anyway... :-)
