Emulator info...

[curran@titan.ucs.umass.edu (DAVID A CURRAN)]

Due to some demand for emulators, here are the docs from one that works.  A
friend of mine found it on the nets somewhere.  Try using Archie to find it.
There is a woeful lack of any ability to transfer files in and out of this
emulator, but Glenn Fawcett (fawcett@tristan.tn.cornell.edu) has written a
shareware utility to do lot's of useful file manipulation between MS-DOS 
files and the disk image files that the emulator uses.

                     Apple Emulator Documentation


                This is the documentation for the IBM 286/386 Apple ][
        emulator. The emulator is not quite complete but since it is a
        "for fun" project I thought that I would go ahead and release
        what I currently have. The following describes the stage of
        completion for each of the Apple ][ emulator sections:

                Video         - The emulator will run on a CGA, EGA, or
                                VGA, however, it looks much better on an
                                EGA or VGA. All the Apple ][ video modes
                                are supported except mixed mode with 4
                                lines of text at the bottom of the graphics
                                screen. Low resolution and high resolution
                                graphics are supported.

                Keyboard      - The keyboard functions as an Apple ][
                                keyboard except for the following keys:

                                PrtSc - Exit the Apple ][ Emulator
                        Scroll  Lock  - Change the screen update method
                        Num     Lock  - Toggle between keypad and joystick

                                Some programs run faster depending on the
                                video update method. Try toggling the scroll
                                lock to see if the program runs faster.

                Joystick      - A joystick is emulated using the numeric
                                keypad. See the joystick.doc file for more
                                information on joystick modes, 
ajustments, etc.

                Disk Drive    - Only Apple ][ floppy type drives are 
supported
                                now, I need more information on how a Apple
                                hard disk works. The floppies are 
emulated by
                                have PC disk files named DISKxy.DSK, where:

                                x - Is the slot number of the disk controller

                                y - Is the drive number, a or b

                                For example, if you had a disk controller in
                                slot 6, the default the file DISK6A.DSK would
                                be the Apple ][ disk image.

                Langauge Card - A 32k langauge card is supported and can be
                                accessed via standard langauge card methods.

                Serial Card   - Sorry but there is no serial support yet, 
again
                                I need more information about the Apple ][
                                serial port.


                Well there is really a lot more to this but since I'm giving
        out the source you can look at it for yourself. I plan on adding 
a lot
        of other features but I'm not sure when I will get around to them.
        Until then I hope you enjoy what I have done so far, thanks again.
