Considering the current prices of 68000s, it would seem to me the most logical
way to go about it would be to place a 68000 on a card along with some other
circuitry as well as the sockets for the Mac ROMs.  Viola!  Instant Mac.
(With some support software, of course)

I'm no hardware genius, so this is merely speculation!! :-)
