A few people asked about the source to an Apple II emulator I have.
I tried to send it, but it bounced back into my face. I gave up hope on
it, and anyone (preferably an Apple II wizard) who would like to waste time
on it is welcome to the code. It's about 100k of C source.
To anyone who is not familiar, I found the C source to an Apple II
emulator for my school's mini. It's real poor, but may someday be of
some use. The source has no credits, and is assumed to be total PD.
I'd rather not send the file to a thousand people, so I'd appreciate
it if only serious people request it.

you can emulate a //e by using the //e emulator for the mac with amax, you need to do a bit of format transfering to get the amiga drive to read the apple software, but it runs most everything, only problem is it's about 40% slower than a real apple, but hey it works. Bob C.

The C source to the Apple II emulator I spoke of (and got millions
of requests for) is not living comfortably at xanth.cs.odu.edu in
the directory /incoming/amiga. Filename is APPLE.C.

Intriguing idea, but I'd prefer not to buy a Mac emulator when all I want is to emulate a lowly Apple II... :-) "Wow, neat!

I have an Apple II emulator running on my Amiga and on my PC at work. It is written in 'C' and is fairly slow, however, I am getting some speed increase by re-coding sections in assembly. It currently runs DOS 3.3 and will soon run ProDOS. Aux mem and 80 columns are supported. A disk transfer utility is used to turn 5 1/4" Apple II disks into Amiga files that the emulator can read. I wrote the emulator from scratch before I was aware of the similar project talked about on the net recently. The project has been mostly ignored for the last six months because I can't think of a leagal means of supplying the needed Apple II roms. Would a program that could be run on a II to save the ROMS to disk incurr the wrath of Apple's legal department? I think so. Are there clone ROMS (Franklin, Laser, etc.) available? If I could solve this problem I would be happy to finish the program and make it available. Any ideas? ========================================================================== PC's and tapeworms are both segmented but which is worse to have? Jerry Fath

FTP site? (Semi-Smiley ;) I would really like package like this. I don't think a program to copy the ROMs to disk is illegal.. especially if I use it to copy the ROMs out of MY Apple //c (Can it use //c ROMs?)
