It would be entirely possible to create an accessible emulator, but
I've not found one yet. I found one that was damn close, but the only
way to use it was to save the screens to text files as they scroll.
Not good. However, since the program can save the screens in text
format, they could be easily made to display them that way, so it is
just a matter of someone bothering to make an accessible one. I want
to do this, and assuming Interface Builder is ever made accessible, I
plan on using one of the Open Source emulators to accomplish this. If
anyone else wants to tackle it first, I'd be very happy, as I too have
a great desire to emulating the old Apple 2 computers.

I'm not sure how accessible Apple II emulators would be since, like
VMWare or Parallels, the Mac will just see the emulator window as a
big bitmapped image and not text/UI. That said. Give these a try:

It takes input from a .dsk file which is a 140K image of an original
5.25" floppy. It also appears to have some way to use original Apple
II hardware to convert floppy disks to image files, but I've not
tried this.
You might also play with KEGS
http://kegs.sourceforge.net/
which is a IIgs emulator.
