Mac OS emulation on PC

[Kirk]

Although I can't say for sure that they don't now have a product with enough
working
features to be worth using, Emulators Inc. is infamous for vaperware. IMO
and the
opinion of many others, the best Mac emulator is Basilisk II which is free.
Audio works
but not midi. It's open source and my guess is it would not be hard to
implement the remaining
serial i/o lines so that midi via a serial port would work. None of the
programmers working
on it have a strong interest in this however. I don't know how good the midi
timing would
be. Here is the site:

And here is the Windows Basilisk II port site:

It says WinNT/2000 but it works better in 98 in my experience. I ended up
buying an LCIII for $20
and have it networked to Basilisk II.
