Within 48 hours, Dapple will be updated to version 0.67 which is the
development version on my home PC. 0.61 is the current online
version.
Dapple 0.67 contains the following emulated hardware:
* CPU: DM65C02, variable speed
* ROM: Apple ][ or ][ Plus, 12K BIOS format
* RAM: 48K, with 16K expansion. The 16K expansion does not work,
however, and
is disabled by default. (YMMV)
* Slot 1: Remappable Apple ][ PIC, by default pointing to PRN: for
printer
emulation. You must have a printer model supported by your
software.
* Slot 5: Mass storage. Useless until the language card is working.
Will move
to slot 7, to make room for the "Dosius Soft80", when that is ready
(work on
the DS80 has not begun yet).
* Slot 6: Disk ][. Version 0.61 supports DO and NIB; 0.65 adds .PO,
and 0.67
supports .2MG and .IIE formats used by two other emulators. (2MG
support
may work for UDF as well?)
The following is the wishlist for my emulator, including features in
the works and features for which I would like more hardware
information.
* CPU: DM65C02, variable speed, and Z80EM or MZ80, fixed to 6502
speed
* ROM: Apple ][, ][ Plus (12K BIOS format), or either version of //e
(16K
BIOS format used by prodosemu and Andrew Gregory's emulator),
possible //c
support using David Ellsworth's 32K ROM format
* RAM: 48-64K (][ and ][ Plus), 64-128K (old //e), 128K (other
systems).
* Slot 1: Apple ][ PIC.
* Slot 2: Apple Super Serial Card.
* Slot 3: 80-column card (128K machines only)
* Slot 4: Mouse port
* Slot 5: Z80 Softcard
* Slot 6: Disk ][
* Slot 7: 2 32MB HDD
Dapple is a 16-bit emulator (!), because Turbo C++ 1.01 (
http://community.borland.com/museum ) is freeware and has GOOD online
help. I did use tcc-specific stuff :( I will need to find a good,
fast 640x200x16 plotter though, don't know if BGI is fast enough.
