What the man said. :-D The other is "Apple 2 Game Server" and can be
found at http://a2gameserver.berlios.de/
The current state of things in v1.1 is that, as stated, you cannot use
full .dsk images. I'm about 2/3 of the way there but had to resolve
some underlying compatibility problems before finishing the disk image
support. I'm happy to say I am ready to resume working on the disk
emulation for dos 3.3 disk images, but it will not be a complete
solution since every commercial game had its own operating system and
very few of those were based on dos 3.3.
