I'm setting up the the Macintosh emulator on the NT box:

Grab the utility for extracting the 68K ROM from the bottom of http://www.emulators.com/demo/index.htm, namely
copyrom.hqx. Copy the file over to the Performa 630CD and extract the ROM.
Download the Basilisk II NT port and survey the technical notes.
Obtain System 7.5.

Looking at educational and end user Linux applications. SEUL had some interesting links as did the page at http://gd.tuwien.ac.at:8050/Z/3/.
Maybe I'll get the Macintosh ROM for the emulator...
