Was about to try the ROM dumping utility "GetROM" [shipped with B2 for win32] when I spied this in the "GetROM" read-me file: "Please remember to boot your Mac with extensions OFF before attempting to dump the ROM image."

Be good to see how it progresses. Mac PPC emulation on Intel shouldn't be too far away [I hope] even low-end 603 mac emulation would be nice.
