There was a board that permitted the old Amiga to run as a Mac. It required the Macintosh rom.
The old Amiga also ran Dos.. and near the end also ran Windows 3.11 but never Windows 95.
The later trick was done by a bridge board that included an intel processor.. a 8086 or for Windows a 286.
This is not completely true.
The Amiga has a long history of emulation (C64, Atari ST, MAC, x86), and this project is just a continuation of that tradition.
There were, IIRC, two boards that allowed Mac emulation on the amiga: the AMAX (and AMAX II) and the Emplant. Later there were two software emulators released, Shapeshifter and Fusion. The cards and shapeshifter required roms, (or at least copies of roms in the case of shapeshifter) to run. I am not sure if Fusion required roms or not. I think that there was a software emulator that ran without mac roms. There was also a version of Fusion called iFusion that emulated powermacs (on amigas equipped with ppc accelerators).
Thanks to the amiga's custom chips all these emulation ran faster than actual macs with the same CPU. In fact these emulations could be multitasked with AmigaOS and resources shared between the OSes.
In the earlier years PC emulation on the amiga required a bridgeboard (Commodore made 8088, 286 and 286 versions and 3rd parties made 486 and IIRC there was even a '586' ie non intel p5 class). However in the early 90's there were a couple of software emulators released, among them PCTask. In its later versions you could run win95 (but very slowly). Again, PCTask could be multitasked with amigaOS and even with a Mac emulator giving you 3 systems on the one desktop.
Ofcourse, Linux also runs on the Amiga so there are a variety of options there aswell.
But if they found you guilty the first time and you hadn't committed the crime, then you could sue the government right?
IAMNAL+IIRC but I believe a number of states have passed legislation that means you can't sue, or if you can you have a limited right to compensation. IIRC, there was a dude in California who was on death row for 15years (or sumthen) and then it turned out he didn't do it but he can't get no money from the government...
That's why America risks becoming the next Nazi Germany. Hitler was popularly elected, after all, and he could flourish in America's current ultra-patriotism.
Hitler elected? HA! As everyone knows Hitler was placed in power as a puppet by the world-wide Jewish conspiracy... actually he was... well just read

So what's the ultimate if OSX is the penultimate? I'd much rather use the ultimate. :P
