| It's a copy of the Toolbox ROM code for the Quadra 660AV. It's a real leak, not reverse engineered. You can see comments on the code from the early 80s by the original Macintosh team. It was published online (I think on Applefritter or something) about 20 years ago by a former Apple employee who was having some sort of mental breakdown. He believed it contained proof that Apple was complicit in subjecting its employees to MKULTRA mind control and ran underground maglev trains to other dimensions. |

| It's a leaked copy of the System 7.1 source code - just the System itself; it doesn't include any applications, control panels, or extensions. (So code for things like the Finder or QuickTime aren't included.) I'm not certain where it came from precisely; from what I understand, it's been circulating online for ages. Apple hasn't authorized its release, but, as far as I'm aware, they haven't made any attempt to suppress it either. |

| It's a leaked version of the Mac toolbox ROM source code circa very early 1994. |
