Class notes for October 12th 2002

From what I saw, there is strong support for:
Atari 8-bit computers (Atari XL)
Atari 16-bit computers (Atari ST)
Commodore 8-bit computers (C64)
Commodore 16-bit computers (Amiga)
Apple 16-bit computers (Macintosh)


Little or no support for any other computers including:
Apple 8-bit computers (Apple II series)
Tandy 8-bit computers (Radio Shack)


note:
The emulators which are still supported are remarkably good
and rarely have a problem running software. Also, if you run
these emulators on a 486 or higher you should not have a problem
running the emulators at full speed.



Commodore Amiga
uae
Install uae, and in the directory where uae resides
you will need a file named .uaerc You can create this
file by clicking on [Save Config] the first time you run
uae. note: Re-check this file as it may or may not save the
information correctly the first time and also do not forget
to tell uae where the Kickstart rom resides.


Apple II
xapple2
You can install xapple2 but it will only run in 8-bit
color. Future support for any Apple II emulator (unix or
otherwise) look grim.


Atari ST
steem
Install Steem, and in the directory where Steem resides
a file named steem.ini will be automatically created.
note: TOS is another name for ROM. Make sure to read
this file and make path changes as necessary.


Atari XL
atari800
Install atari800, and in the directory where atari800 resides
you will need a file named atari800.cfg Make sure to read
this file and make path changes as necessary.


Commodore Pet, Commodore Vic20, Commodore 64, Commodore 128
vice
Install vice. It will install the emulator for Commodore Pet
through Commodore 128.


Macintosh
basiliskii
Install basiliskii and in the home directory of the user running
basiliskii you will need a file named .basilisk_ii_prefs Make sure to
read these files and make path changes as necessary. You will
find several hundred MBs of software (and Mac OS8) on the virtual
hard drive named 500mb_hard_disk.dsk


mess
mess
This directory contains roms for almost all obsolete computers made.
It is used with the program mess (which is part of the mame arcade
emulator series). I did not install this program but simply copied
the roms while they were available.


Tandy Model 100
model100emu
Th only emulator I could find was an old dos emulator so in the spirit
of linux, you can run it using dosemu (which emulates a dos computer).
So run linux and run dosemu under linux then run this dos based program.
From what I saw, it is not a very good program. The only reason it
is here is that I wanted programs for my real T-100.


Tandy TRS-80 xtrs
It works however, future support for any Tandy emulator looks grim.
