1.1 What is an emulator?
---
An emulator is a virtual-copy of a physical device (in terms of this document,
an 8-bit or 16-bit Apple computer). Early home computers contained a number of
basic hardware components - the ROM (hard-coded software, like a computer-game
cartridge), the RAM (writeable application memory) and the CPU (the
microprocessor which executes machine-language programs). The original
instruction-set of the Apple's CPU is duplicated at the core of the emulator as
software, and around this is built further emulation of storage devices (usually
disk-drives) and translation so that the virtual-machine can use your physical
computer's keyboard, display screen, RAM and sound features. Along with a
software copy of the ROM (see below) the emulator can use the resources of your
physical computer to mimic an Apple!
If the concept of emulation sounds too good to be true - that's probably
because it is. Emulators can use a large percentage of your physical computer's
resources during operation. Efficient emulation of the Apple on modern machines
is really only possible because of the expanding power of computers. At this
point, it takes the processing power of a 486DX2/66 or 68030 CPU to comfortably
emulate a 1MHz 6502 (the CPU of the 8-bit Apple ][). The 16-bit IIgs emulators
coming into use now need the latest processors (Pentium or PowerPC chips).
---
1.2 What are disk-images?
---
Apple II 5.25" diskettes are not compatible with that 5.25" floppy in the
front of your PC. Period.
A disk-image is a track-by-track copy of a physical diskette made to a fixed
volume as a software file; basically there is little difference between it and a
compressed archive (eg. a PKZIP or StuffIt file). In everyday use, this is
useful because of a number of factors - an "image" of a diskette retains more
information than an archived copy (eg. volume name, original file dates),
physical diskettes may become defective, it makes duplication of master-
diskettes easier, disk-images can be stored on hard-disks eliminating the need
for unwieldy numbers of diskettes, etc. All of the modern computing platforms
use disk-images for storing and transferring disks over electronic networks
(such as the Internet). Apple distributes its system software in DiskCopy image
format (which is compatible with programs such as ShrinkWrap and MountImage
allowing the image to be accessed like a real disk from the Finder). The PC uses
WinImage (which is compatible with DiskCopyFast in DOS). Finally, the Amiga uses
DiskMasher images. None of these image types are compatible with each other.
Emulators use disk-images for a totally different purpose. Whereas modern
computers use images to transfer physical diskettes electronically, emulators
use disk-images because the original media is not compatible with the modern
disk drives. Although the diskette media itself is the same, the method used to
store data on it is totally different. Disk-images are used to trick the
emulator software into thinking that there is an Apple ][ disk-drive attached
(unlike modern software, most Apple ][ applications could not be installed onto
a hard-drive and were dependent on the 140K diskette structure to operate).
Unlike the different types of images above, emulator images can be used on any
computer. There are six types of Apple ][ disk-images, of which three are
standard to virtually every emulator on every platform... But why have more than
one type of disk-image to emulate an Apple disk-drive? Because any disk-drive
can access the information on a diskette in a number of ways. An Apple ][ drive
alone supports DOS and ProDOS structuring, as well as a Nibble format which
included half and quarter tracks used in some software as copy-protection. These
are the three main types which are standard to most emulators.
For further information on disk-images, please refer to Chapter 6 of this guide.
---
1.3 - The Apple ROMs
---
According to the 'Apple II User's Guide', the read-only memory (ROM) "contents
never change, even when you turn the power off. ROM contains the programs which
give the Apple II its unique identity and enables it to understand and respond
appropriately to the commands you type in at the keyboard." (p.4) Every computer
contains ROMs, and understandably, they are copyrighted by the manufacturer. As
such, many of the emulator packages listed below do not include the ROMs
required to emulate an Apple ][. ROMs can be duplicated from your original Apple
computer in the form of binary files - usually the Apple, disk-drive and serial
ROMs. Instructions for saving the information from the ROMs into binary files
can be found in the text file "dumping-ROMs" available on wilbur. Emulator
packages which do not include the ROMs often include instructions on dumping
ROMs. This information is specifically indicated in the descriptions below. As
an aside, the main Apple ROMs are included on the original DOS3.3 System Master
Disk, in the "FPBASIC" and "INTBASIC" machine language files.

2.2 Apple Macintosh Platform
---
HINT: Having trouble transferring files from a Macintosh to a ProDOS disk with
PC Exchange? Try setting the file’s creator to ‘pdos’ and the type to 'BINA'
using ResEdit (or install the Snitch extension to allow filetype altering in
Finder "Get Info" windows). This will prevent the creation of a forked file on
the ProDOS disk (ie. it will transfer the data fork only, and not the Macintosh
resource fork). It should not be necessary to change the ProDOS file type
further if the file is a disk-image or ShrinkIt archive. If the file is text,
substitute the file type 'TEXT' for 'BINA'.

AUTHOR: Randy Brandt & Mike Munz .
STATUS: Development in progress.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: An AppleWorks emulator for 68K and PPC Macintoshes -
literally, an "Apple II emulation engine", which requires AppleWorks 5. From a
post on "comp.sys.apple2": "It supports most TimeOut applications, including
UltraMacros. It also tightly integrates AppleWorks 5 and the Mac environment.
This includes automatic conversion between Macintosh and AppleWorks clipboards,
being able to traverse through your Macintosh hard disk (no Prodos partition
required), and macro commands to access Mac functions (like speaking text,
dialing). And if you have PCExchange (or System 7.5), it will read Apple II 3.5"
disks as well. It, however, is not a generic emulator".
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 68K or PowerPC Macintosh running System 7 and above;
AppleWorks 5.
FURTHER REFERENCE: None.

AUTHOR: Dave Lyons and Andy Nicholas (Apple Computer, Inc.)
STATUS: Pre-release.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Gus is an Apple in-house project which should allow fully
transparent IIgs emulation on Macintosh. Apparently, the emulation speed is
quite fast, working approximately four to five times the speed of a real IIgs if
speed regulation is turned off.
ROMS: N/A.
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: Unknown.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Unknown.
FURTHER REFERENCE: None.

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/IIe/MacE.compiled.sit.bin
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/misc/emsrc.sit (source code)
AUTHOR: W. Sheldon Simms III .
STATUS: Source code released for public modification.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: An Apple //e emulator for 68K Macintoshes. The binhexed Think
C 7.0 code was posted to "comp.emulators.apple2" on 5 July 1995. According to
the author's accompanying message, it is an "emulator that boots into basic. I
don't have time to work on it now so I'm posting the source in case anyone else
wants to mess with it. It has a 65816 emulator (well 65802 really)...There's no
documentation other than internal documentation."
ROMS: MacE comes with the necessary Apple //e ROMs and is ready for use after
decompression.
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes); there also seems to
be an Icon resource for virtual hard-disk volumes in the code, but whether or
not this is supported is unknown.
DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO: File Creator: 'MacE', File Type: 'DSK5'.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power Macintosh
models. Will not work on "compact" (B&W) Macintoshes.
FURTHER REFERENCE: None.

2.2.6 Sim6502 (version 0.1d)
-----
AVAILABILITY: Available for free download from:
http://www.emulation.net/apple1/sim6502.sit.hqx
AUTHOR: Achim Breidenbach .
STATUS: Development in progress.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Sim6502 emulates an Apple I, and was developed to commemorate
the works of Steven Wozniak. Although the Apple I does not have a BASIC
interpreter, there are several sample codes included in the archive. The 6502
decimal mode is not emulated.
ROMS: N/A.
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: N/A.
DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO: N/A.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Power Macintosh models.
FURTHER REFERENCE: An HTML version of the original Apple I Operation Manual is
included in the archive. An online version of the manual is available from:

ftp://ftp.unsw.edu.au/pub/mac/emulators/STM-0851r.hqx
AUTHOR: Kevin Lund & Jim Nitchals .
STATUS: See STM v0.881r.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Stop The Madness emulates a 64K Apple ][+, and allows disk-
swapping. Although it cannot "save" (write information to a disk image) a small
program called Save The Madness can be used simultaneously with STM (under
Multifinder or System 7), writing altered disk-image files (see below). STM
comes with the DOS 3.3 System Master disk-image "pre-installed" into virtual
drive one.
ROMS: STM comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use after
decompression.
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).
DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO: File Creator: 'A2EM', File Type: 'DSK5'.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power Macintosh
models. Runs ONLY in 256-colours! Will not display a picture on "compact" (B&W)
Macintoshes.
NOTE: On desktop Macintoshes, you must set the "Colors" control panel to 256-
colors, as STM does not support higher colour modes. This problem has
erroneously been interpreted as non-compatibility of the emulator with some
Macintoshes.

AUTHOR: Kevin Lund & Jim Nitchals .
STATUS: Unknown.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Stop The Madness emulates a 64K Apple ][+, and allows disk-
swapping. Version 0.881r (formerly known as 0.872d) is far more versatile than
the previous version; configurable "modules" allow expansion limited only by
available memory - for example, STM can support four Disk II drives.
Additionally, STM can now "save" disk-images (see below). STM comes with the DOS
3.3 System Master disk-image "pre-installed" into virtual drive one.
ROMS: STM comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use after
decompression.
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes), and non-standard
"pre-nibbleized". This second type is the only format the Disk II module will
save images into. From the documentation: "this format is bulkier than the
'.DSK' format, and has no cross-platform compatibility, but is more flexible,
allowing non-standard formats and 1/4 track resolution." Version 1.00 of SaveTM
(see below) is also compatible with STM 0.881r for those who prefer standard
disk-image output.
DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO: File Creator: 'A2EM', File Type: 'DSK5'.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power Macintosh
models - with System 7. Runs ONLY in 256-colours! Will not display a picture on
"compact" (B&W) Macintoshes.
NOTE: On desktop Macintoshes, you must set the "Colors" control panel to 256-
colors, as STM does not support higher colour modes. This problem has
erroneously been interpreted as non-compatibility of the emulator with some
Macintoshes.
