Warr asked: Can we talk a little bit about how to get files onto and off of an emulated Apple II? -------- As someone pointed out, if you are using Windows, by all reports CiderPress is a great program. I don't have a Window's box so I'll have to leave it to others to point out the various advantages. My setup is running KEGS under Linux. Although there are command line programs for manipulating disk images I use a Mac Emulator called Basilisk in conjunction with KEGS. Sort of like I do with my real Mac and GS. Basilisk emulates a 68K Mac, It can creates HD images of any size, mount ProDos disk images and Disk Copy images as well as give access to the host machine's file system. Once the images are mounted just drag and drop files as needed, exit Basilisk and mount in KEGS and you are good to go. Obviously, after the images are mounted in KEGS they can be manipulated as well. I expect this could be adapted to other Apple II emulators also. BTW Basilisk has a port to Windows, if you are so inclined to use it there. Not sure about OSX. Also "Bernie" is a fine program if you are capable of running a mac on 9.x or lower. Mounts, creates uses Images nicely. Lastly, you may find images on line that you could legally use. The KEGS site had a HD image, non bootable, for DL'ing. If need be, you could erase and reuse the image. Don't forget to make a backup of the original image first. :) Pete -- Apple2list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Apple2list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/apple2.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:apple2list@mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/apple2list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com -- Apple2list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Apple2list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/apple2.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:apple2list@mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/apple2list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
