Andy,
The last CeBitt fair in Hanover (a month or so ago) had a company called
NuTek show off a Mac-compatible ROM and base-board. NuTek has been
publically working on a Mac-compatible ROM for over two years and I've
heard that Apple has tried to/is trying to clamp down on them.
However, the claim to have finally succeeded and the package they were
showing at Hanover was supposed to be enough to clone a Mac IIci (or was it
a IIcx?) for about $700. These ROMs were clean-room developed and are
compatibles (you need their ROMs and another item in silicon, plus some
Apple software) not clones.
Things should be getting interesting in Apple land.
