Description
This article is from the Apple ][ Emulator Resources Guide, by Alex Maddison with numerous contributions by others.
3.3 System Master disk-image "pre-installed" into virtual drive one.
ROMS: STM comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use after decompression.
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes), and non-standard "pre-nibbleized". This second type is the only format the Disk II module will save images into. From the documentation: "this format is bulkier than the '.DSK' format, and has no cross-platform compatibility, but is more flexible, allowing non-standard formats and 1/4 track resolution." Version 1.00 of SaveTM (see below) is also compatible with STM 0.881r for those who prefer standard disk-image output.
DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO: File Creator: 'A2EM', File Type: 'DSK5'.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power Macintosh models - with System 7. Runs ONLY in 256-colours! Will not display a picture on "compact" (B&W) Macintoshes.
NOTE: On desktop Macintoshes, you must set the "Colors" control panel to 256- colors, as STM does not support higher colour modes. This problem has erroneously been interpreted as non-compatibility of the emulator with some Macintoshes.
