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. -Chas
