I must show my disgust in that copies of "pirate" Macintosh ROMs do
exist (as do pirate copies of the AMAX-II software) in the Amiga
community and all over AMIGA bulletin boards across the nation, and
due to the method in which the AMAX software indeed "reads ROMs into
RAM," users are provided with an often seemingly "fully-functional"
Macintosh.

My question is this:  Legal?  I worked for Apple for 2 years and often
do back in Chicago when I'm not at school.  Obviously the fact that
Amiga (read "Toy") users are so "lucky" (as are ATARI-ST users) to
have in reality a "free Macintosh" (though compatibility is not always
a reality) bothers me...

I assume that System 7.0 has "preventative measures" against such
"emulators," but of course, I'm unsure.

Any response to this news would be great; I'd appreciate a copy
via email to klingspo@holst.cs.colostate.edu
