I recently downloaded a program called 'APL2EM' by Randy Spurlock from the wuarchive.wustl.edu ftp-site. Has anyone used this product? If so, how can files be added to the Apple II disk image file? Is there a more recent version than 1.00? Are there any other public domain (or commercial) products for the IBM PC which emulate the IIe? Thanks for any information...

I would also like to know where I can find an Apple emulator for IBM
antonyc@nntp-server.caltech.edu (Antony Chan) (03/07/91)
well, the way i make new disk images is like this:
1) get an apple ][ something with a serial card
(the faster the better)
2) get a pc with a serial card and some drive space open (at least 2 meg)
3) get mskermit
4) get a wire to connect the two machines (3-conductor type that works
(type depends on apple serial card))
5) run ms kermit
6) determine in which slot the apple's serial card is (should be 3)
(at least that's what this script thinks)
7) do a in#3 and a pr#3 on the apple (warning: you sorta hafta know
what you're doing)
8) run this kermit script:
------------------------------
output \13
output CALL -151 \13
output 300: A9 0 8D F0 B7 8D EB B7 8D EC B7 8D ED B7 A9 10 8D F1 B7 \13
output 313: A9 B7 A0 E8 20 B5 B7 EE F1 B7 EE ED B7 AD ED B7 C9 10 90 EC \13
output 327: 20 3A 03 A9 0 8D ED B7 EE EC B7 AD EC B7 C9 23 90 D5 60 \13
output 33A: A9 00 85 3C A9 FF 85 3E A9 10 85 3D A9 1F 85 3F 20 B3 FD 60 \13
log session
output 300G \13
connect
close all
--------------------------------
9) edit the kermit log to get rid of the obviously out of place stuff
at the beginning and/or end of the file (warning: this is a HUGE
text file that requires a manly editor)
10) compile this c program: (we used msc600)
-------------------------------------
/*
* Turn an Apple II monitor ROM hex dump back into binary data
* usage: hex < hex_data
*/
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
char buf[100];
int i, j;
FILE *k;
int addr;
int m[8];
unsigned char c;
k=fopen("disk.bin","wb");
while (fgets(buf, 100, stdin) != NULL) {
i = sscanf(buf, "%x- %x %x %x %x %x %x %x %x",
&addr, &m[0], &m[1], &m[2], &m[3], &m[4], &m[5],
&m[6], &m[7]);
for (j = 1; j < i; j++) {
fputc(m[j-1],k);
}
}
fclose(k);
}
-----------------------------------------
11) use program per usage instructions (program courtesy of pete wenzel)
(he did the kermit script as well) (he's pmwenzel@tybalt.caltech.edu)
(gotta mention that somewhere, he did all the work)
example usage:
hex < session.log
12) image file will be called disk.bin (143360 bytes exactly)
13) remember that if this didn't work, i don't know why.
and that's all. 13 easy steps. :P
Good Luck (and i mean it)
actually,
14) i think that nyet@tybalt.caltech.edu does know what the problem was.

The Trackstar 128 (advertised in Radio Shack catalogs) is an Apple IIc
emulator for IBM. This just might be what you want.

This will allow you to use a communication program to transfer files to the emulator. The program will also contain a few other enhancments, i.e. a built in 6502 debugger, user interface, easy Apple ][ configuration via Apple.Ini file, etc. I hope to have the new version finished in about a month. If there is enough interest I could post the program along with source code here on the net. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Randy Spurlock - | Compaq Computer Corporation --------------------------------------------------------------------------- These opinions are mine...all mine... | He fired his hyper-jets and... just ask anyone who's heard them! | blasted into the 5th dimension! --------------------------------------| UUCP: ...!uunet!cpqhou!randys | Space Man Spiff =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

You are better off going to Sears and getting a Laser computer. It is Apple IIe compatible and runs upto 3 times as fast. Bryon Lape

In-Reply-To: message from randys@cpqhou.uucp I am looking forward to getting your "New" emulator when it is finished . I hope that is soon and that you post it on the "net". Please keep up the good work. *8> UUCP: crash!pro-grouch!tomk ARPA: crash!pro-grouch!tomk@nosc.mil

No graphics, but it's quite fast and does RWTS interception as well as Disk II stepper motor emulation. It has a useful debugging mode which lets you disassemble, change memory, etc. I believe it's still available from accuvax.nwu.edu, although it's been awhile. It was posted to alt.sources some months ago. Rich -- skrenta@amix.commodore.com

On the subject of Apple][ emulators, are there any programs (or will one of the ones mentioned) allow reading/writing of apple disks through an IBM drive? What I want is something so that I can download Apple programs to my PC and then copy them to an Apple disk and use them on the Apple. I don't want to use my PC as an Apple][, but since the apple is sitting there I thought it might be nice to put some software on the thing. -Steven T. Ansell Unix Consultant Computing Services U.C.D.
