[comp.sys.mac.misc] Apple ][ emulator

msmith@att3b2.tricity.wsu.edu (Mark Smith) (05/17/91)

Greetings.  

I would like to get an apple 2 emulator for my pc.  I don't care if it's
software or hardware.  I have taken a look at the one on simtel and 
about gagged.  It's a nice program if all you're going to do is run 
applesoft basic stuff. 

So here's the criteria.
  1: has 128K free to the "apple"
  2: is apple ][e or bettor.
  3: displays color.
  3: will go into 80 column mode (pr#3).
  4: will READ and WRITE apple dos 3.3 (16 sector) files with an ibm drive.
  5: will run copy protected stuff (my collection of Ultimas)

the list looks about right off the top of my head.  Any info is 
greatly appreciated, wanted and/or needed  (I want to get rid of the old
][e and recover some desk space).

You might as well give up on 4 and 5.  Apple ][ and IBM drives use
different modulations on the disk.  The hardware is incompatible.

What is this doing in comp.sys.atari.st anyway?  What is this doing
in any of the groups listed above?  Maybe its time to learn to use
netnews responsibly.
