" Al Kossow provided some SCSI bus snooping logs of a real Mac booting from a CD-ROM and I was able to modify our SCSI CD-ROM to comply with Apple’s specifications. As a result, most of our Macs now can both read and boot from CD-ROMs" I love to see things like this. This hardware isn't going to last forever. While it lasts, you have people doing really low level things like this on actual hardware so it can live on in emulation. And this is one of the things a lot of people miss about MAME: it is much about documenting the hardware as emulating it.
