	Apple has a standing policy that system ROMs may be used in emulators 
and other machines, as long as they are not the current version of the
Macintosh ROMs.  Therefore, 64k and 128k ROMs are fine, (witness Magic Sac
and Spectre for the Atari ST), while the 256k ROMs are a definite no-no,
liable to bring the considerable legal wrath of Apple upon you.
