3.1 Emulator & Software Sites

A NOTE ABOUT DISK-IMAGES - Like the Apple ][ ROMs, disk-images are duplicates of copyrighted material; as a result, few FTP sites feel that they can legally maintain copies of such software. However, from a commercial point of view, the majority of said software is no longer for sale (notable exceptions include the Ultima and Infocom series) and most of the companies themselves no longer exist. Basically, the software in it's original format would not be commercially viable EXCEPT to the emulator market, but the Apple ][ community still exists to a greater extent than the C64 and Spectrum platforms (which both possess FTP sites of disk-image software) so the capacity to transfer disk-images BACK to the Apple computer is seen as a possible source of software piracy. Some Apple ][ software has been released into the public domain, is free or Shareware: these include the Eamon adventure series amongst others. Most of this type of software is, however, not in disk-image format and can be found on the Apple II FTP sites below.
