Yes, there is an 80286 software emulator of an Apple ][+ that is
in existence, including source code, and I have a copy of it. Although I have
not seen it in person, two people I know with PC's have it and have
successfully used it and they say that on a 20Mhz+ machine it does a
remarkably good job emulating a 1Mhz Apple ][+ (the phrase they use is
"spooky" after seeing the Apple ][ message come up on their PC's screen).
Unfortunately, part of the package is a raw image of the Apple ][+ ROMs, so it
would be a violation of Apple's copyrights to post it publicly (IMHO). But
that doesn't mean you can't get it from an {ndividual who has it...
I would love to see this package be expanded to become a //e emulator,
although I'm sure that will take about a magnitude more work due to all the
fancy bank-switching (although I'm told that the current emulation has an
option for emulating the 16K language card). Any takers?
