A while back on this thread we were joking about Dream Machines of the past. Well, you can dig out your Alternative Platform disks cuz inexpensive emulators are available from Emulators Online. emulators.com "You are at the home page of Emulators Inc., leaders in emulation technology since 1986. We are the creators of the original GEMULATOR Atari ST and Apple Macintosh emulator and XFORMER Atari 8-bit emulators. We are now shipping the world's first color Macintosh emulator for Windows. You've seen our products at COMDEX, at MACWORLD, and other computer shows. On January 5th at MACWORLD 99 Expo in San Francisco we unveiled GEMULATOR PRO, the world's first color 68040 Macintosh emulator for Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0. Run Macintosh II and Macintosh Quadra software and Atari TT software on Windows, at speeds faster than real 68030 and 68040 based computers. No booting into 16-bit MS-DOS, no messing with AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, and no INI files to edit as with other less powerful emulators. Just boot Windows, start Gemulator Pro, and boot a Mac OS boot disk. It's that simple. Gemulator Pro even directly reads your Macintosh floppy disks, CD-ROMs, ZIP and Jaz disks, and external Macintosh hard disks." "...Unlike MS-DOS based emulators like Executor and Fusion, which do not run on any version of Windows, Gemulator does not "take over" your PC. Gemulator seamlessly runs Mac OS in its own window (or full screen session) on the Windows desktop. Gemulator supports direct access to Macintosh disk media - Macintosh 1.44M floppy disks, Macintosh CD-ROMs, Macintosh formatted Iomega ZIP disks, and even Macintosh formatted hard disks. Just pop in a Macintosh disk and read the files. Moving your Macintosh work to the PC is as easy as: Plug the Gemulator card with Macintosh ROMs into a free slot inside your PC, Insert a Macintosh system boot disk or CD into your PC (or connect a bootable Macintosh hard disk via a SCSI card), Start the Gemulator 98 emulator and boot the Mac OS. At this point you can insert other Macintosh disks and run the programs on them. Go from Windows to Macintosh in under 5 minutes of installation time. Once Gemulator is installed, starting the Mac OS is as easy as clicking the Gemulator icon. We've demonstrated Gemulator COMDEX, MACWORLD, and other major computer shows and shown people exactly how easy it is... ---------- I wonder how the MAC emulation compares to others I have seen in the past... This might be handy for homes with children who use MACs in school.
