I have written a software only Apple //e emulator in C for
UNIX boxes. The emulator is an enhanced Apple//e with 128k and six 'disk
drives'. This is the second release which includes the graphics version
and reworks the address parser into a state table.
My Apple //e emulator has two versions. The first
is a curses based text only program. I've run it on SGI, encore,
A/UX 2.0 and RS6000s. I believe it to be fairly compatable with most
UNIXs. The other version uses SGI GL to do LORES and HGR graphics. I have
run it on SGI and RS6000s. It seems to work well on SGI and some bugs
in the IBM GL restricted its usefulness on the RS6000 (Although I hope
those disappeared in the released version of AIX).
Now the hard news. It is not incredibly fast. On my 4D120GTX
it runs about 70% of a regular //e (GL version). The curses program
is faster.
The source to both versions is available via anonymous/FTP
from: isca01.icaen.uiowa.edu (128.255.19.175) in the directory:
//isca01/bbs/files2/unix/apple2
Get the *.docs file, the *disks* file and one of the ap2e* files.
ap2e.tar.Z = curses version for most UNIX boxes.
ap2egl.tar.Z = SGI GL graphics versions of the program.
Note: You must provide your own Apple//e ROMs to use the emulator.
Enjoy...
