Yes, I've got this thing working OK. It needs 1MB of ram, though, and you'll have to get hold of a mac & a copy of Finder 4.1 & System to get it working. You can start up the emulator by double clicking on MACBONGO.PRG, and then choosing START. (after choosing memory size). A happy mac should then appear, and you will then need to insert a magic sac format system disk. To do this, you will need A mac, some mac software to send data down the RS232, a mac-st cable, and a magic sac disk formatted using MFORMAT.PRG. You should then run the RECEIVE program to download it. All this is a bit messy, though - it's better if you can get hold of a copy of Finder/system from someone else (in magic sac format). This said, this is _very_ dodgy copyright-wise. In fact, I think the whole program is dodgy - it seems it contains a full copy of the 64K mac roms.
