Turn your PC into a Mac to do stuff for IIGS?



Well, considering how people commonly say they use
Macs as peripherals to do things for their IIGS units,
I thought some folks might be interested in the following
link:

http://www.emulators.com/

This company makes absolutely the fastest, most
complete and powerful Macintosh emulator.  Blows
Fusion away.  Check out the web site and look at the
screen shots of Mac OS 8.1 running on the Windows
desktop!  See the emulated Mac run Macintosh
Microsoft Office and other Mac applications.  The
name of the emulator is Gemulator Pro and it does
not even require that you provide the ROM files (they
come as ROM chips on a card that you plug into
your PC).  There is a software only version, should
you want to use ROM files...it isn't any cheaper,
though, so why bother?

Gemulator Pro costs less than Fusion too.

Finally, naturally a Windows PC running Gemulator
Pro will be able to access IIGS formatted HFS Zip
disks like a charm (and Mac ones too).

On a typical high end PC system, performance in
running 68040 software is faster than on a G3 Mac!

Lastly, click to full screen and you can pretend that
the PC is a Mac and freak out all your Mac friends.

Gemulator Pro's speed comes from the fact that it
is written in assembly language.  That's quite a feat
for an x86 based system (x86 assembly is supposed
to be a real dog compared to 65C02 or 65C816
assembly).
