I use to have the same belief until Mark set me straight. We are only making an emulator of a new world Mac, not a simulator of a PowerMac3,1. This means we might be able to get away with not exactly mirroring a real Mac. The fact that Mac OS 9 can boot up at all does give me hope we are on the right path.
