From my understanding after speaking to the developers of the ReadySoft's
Mac emulator, this is not true. They will sell you the MAC ROMs and
the software for about US$200.00. (Information dated Dec 1, 88, at the
World of Commodore, Toronto, Ontario, Canada).

Also from the Readysoft's developer, this MAC emulator does NOT
have the problem with the non-contigious RAM. When I asked the same question,
they laughed and said I had them confused with the *OTHER* MAC emulator.
