    The only one I know of is XGS. Someone has ported the Unix program
to run under Windows, though from what I can see, it's far from being
complete. The most I was able to do was start-up the software based
Apple IIgs (the standard text splash screen appeared) and get as far
as a blinking Applesoft BASIC cursor. Still, just seeing that medium
blue screen with white text was a nice sight on a 486 screen. :-)

    Keyboard mapping wasn't quite working (couldn't find the 'Option' 
and 'Apple' keys) and I had no disk-images to mount. I really look
forward to seeing it once it's in a fully working state! (I bump into
PC clones far more frequently than PowerMacs)
