I'm gonna blow some minds here, but my first Mac was an Atari ST. There was a great hardware/software hack called GCR, by Dave Small that used the Atari game cartridge port and a cartridge with 128k Apple ROM chip. (You were on your own to find someone with an Eprom burner to make the ROM chip for you). There was a floppy disk cable that allowed a standard floppy to R/W and format in the Apple format. If you had a hard drive there was a software hack that let you partition a portion of your hard drive in Macintosh format. The emulation was of a Mac Plus. This was circa 1985-6.
I was able to run the full blown Mac programs of the day, PageMaker, Illustrator etc. With Fontographer I could convert PC based fonts to Mac format (arrh remember DA Font mover?)
After that it was most every top end Mac from Centris 610 to PPC G-5 Dual.
