 Whoa!  Before anybody pays another inflated cent for these black-market
critters, they should be aware that there is a very nice (though rather
illegal) way to emulate a Mac without Mac ROMs, or even with AMax.

which doesn't quite run on a 3000 (at the moment) but runs fine anywhere
else.  Ask your friendly neighborhood hacker.
