AUTHOR: Randy Spurlock <randys@gocart.eng.hou.compaq.com>.

STATUS: Development ceased.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apl2Em emulates a 64K Apple][+, but does not allow disk- swapping whilst in use. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the hard-disk from within the emulator. This means that although Apl2Em can run all of the 64K multi-disk software that Applemu cannot, you can only pre-load two disks (D1 and D2).

ROMS: Apl2Em comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use after decompression. The Apple ROMs in "APPLE.ROM" and the disk-drive controller ROMs are stored in "DISK.ROM".

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 Order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 80286 cpu with CGA graphics (will not display correctly on a monochrome monitor).

FURTHER REFERENCES: "APPLE.DOC" (Text file included in the archive). The "Apple2 Emulation Frequently Asked Questions" guide contains a great deal of information on this emulator as well as converting disk-image files for use with it.
