- Apple Emulator Documentation
-
-
- This is the documentation for the IBM 286/386 Apple ][
- emulator. The emulator is not quite complete but since it is a
- "for fun" project I thought that I would go ahead and release
- what I currently have. The following describes the stage of
- completion for each of the Apple ][ emulator sections:
-
- Video - The emulator will run on a CGA, EGA, or
- VGA, however, it looks much better on an
- EGA or VGA. All the Apple ][ video modes
- are supported except mixed mode with 4
- lines of text at the bottom of the graphics
- screen. Low resolution and high resolution
- graphics are supported.
-
- Keyboard - The keyboard functions as an Apple ][
- keyboard except for the following keys:
-
- PrtSc - Exit the Apple ][ Emulator
- Scroll Lock - Change the screen update method
- Num Lock - Toggle between keypad and joystick
-
- Some programs run faster depending on the
- video update method. Try toggling the scroll
- lock to see if the program runs faster.
-
- Joystick - A joystick is emulated using the numeric
- keypad. See the joystick.doc file for more
- information on joystick modes, ajustments, etc.
-
- Disk Drive - Only Apple ][ floppy type drives are supported
- now, I need more information on how a Apple
- hard disk works. The floppies are emulated by
- have PC disk files named DISKxy.DSK, where:
-
- x - Is the slot number of the disk controller
-
- y - Is the drive number, a or b
-
- For example, if you had a disk controller in
- slot 6, the default the file DISK6A.DSK would
- be the Apple ][ disk image.
-
- Langauge Card - A 32k langauge card is supported and can be
- accessed via standard langauge card methods.
-
- Serial Card - Sorry but there is no serial support yet, again
- I need more information about the Apple ][
- serial port.
-
-
- Well there is really a lot more to this but since I'm giving
- out the source you can look at it for yourself. I plan on adding a lot
- of other features but I'm not sure when I will get around to them.
- Until then I hope you enjoy what I have done so far, thanks again.
