Again, why? When you can run software that emulates the entire machine at 100+ MHz on a modern PC or Mac, putting it on a PCI card makes no sense. You won't be able to use any Apple // hardware with it in a PCI slot, so it gains you nothing over the software emulation that is already available.
The reason for doing an actual accelerator for an Apple //gs is so you can install it in and use any hardware for an Apple //gs. Anything beyond that is better done with a straight software emulator. > From: "Nord, Al" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: Apple2list <apple2list@mail.maclaunch.com> > Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2005 13:58:00 -0500 > To: Apple2list <apple2list@mail.maclaunch.com> > Subject: Apple //Gs on a pci card > > My 2 cents worth again.
