I'd like to correct at least half of that statement.  The Macintosh
emulator on the Atari ST, Spectre GCR, will now work with a copied
EPROM.  The manufacturer/programmer, Dave Small, programmed it that
way.  He wouldn't divulge the method used as that might allow people
to bypass it, but it won't work with bootleg PROMs.

Additionally, it seems to be at least as compatible as most of the
Mac II's in existance.
