Basilisk II
is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables you to run 68k
MacOS software on you computer, even if you are using a different operating
system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a Macintosh ROM image to
use Basilisk II.
Basilisk II :
- - Emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs MacOS 0.x thru
7.5) or a Mac II series machine (which runs MacOS 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1),
depending on the ROM being used
- - Color video display
- - CD quality sound output
- - Floppy disk driver (only 1.44MB disks supported)
- - Driver for HFS partitions and hardfiles
- - CD-ROM driver with basic audio functions
- - Easy file exchange with the host OS via a "Host
Directory Tree" icon on the Mac desktop
- - Ethernet driver
- - Serial drivers
- - SCSI Manager (old-style) emulation
- - Emulates extended ADB keyboard and 3-button mouse
- - Uses UAE 68k emulation or (under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k)
real 68k processor
