  1. Re:G4 upgrade for the Apple ][ by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Interview: Ask Steve Wozniak

    That would be awesome ... but unnecessary. The Apple ][ is already being emulated as a MacOS application.

    See emulation.net: http://www.emulation.net/apple2/index.ht ml.

    I have seen the innards of a 9600 taken apart and inserted inside an Apple ][e box (a long time ago, don't remember where the link is). Uses a processor daughtercard, so as of recently this creation (think it was created by the mac treasure tracing club over in Japan) can been upgraded to a G4 (aka 7400).

    There is a PDP emulator for the Mac. Try here. Emulation.net has several dozen emulators for the Mac.

    The PDP-8 family of minicomputers were built by Digital Equipment Corporation between 1965 and 1990. The PDP-8 was largely upward compatible with the PDP-5, a machine that was unveiled on August 11, 1963 at WESCON, and the inspiration for that machine came from two earlier machines, the LINC and the CDC 160. All of these machines were characterized by a 12 bit word with little or no hardware byte structure, typically 4K words of memory, and simple but powerful instruction sets.

  3. Nintendo almost released an emulator. by J.+FoxGlov · · Score: 1 · on Nintendo shuts down www.snes9x.com
    On emulation.net, there's a SNES emulator for the Mac called Silhouette, which according to the readme file (use Stuffit Expander to decode the .hqx if you don't own a Mac) was an emulator project designed from within Nintendo which got scrapped after several downsizings.

    There's no source code available for Silhouette; the binary was just dropped in John Stiles (owner of emulation.net)'s lap last fall. The readme refers to a possible 1.1 version at some point, but as yet it hasn't come.

    Silhouette was the only emulator around that could handle transparencies at the time.
