Umm. Doesn't MoL depend on the Mac IO controller chip? (Paddington on the G3 B/W
systems, for example) Far as I know, MacOS depends heavily on this chip for most
of its functionality, and without it, MacOS can't do anything. I think you need
an actual Mac, because of the necessity of having that chip available to do some
of MacOS's dirty work.
