BasiliskII - a 68k Macintosh emulator
SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶
Basilisk II
is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables you to run 68k MacOS software on you computer, even if you are using a different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II.
Basilisk II :
- - Emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs MacOS 0.x thru 7.5) or a Mac II series machine (which runs MacOS 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1), depending on the ROM being used
- - Color video display
- - CD quality sound output
- - Floppy disk driver (only 1.44MB disks supported)
- - Driver for HFS partitions and hardfiles
- - CD-ROM driver with basic audio functions
- - Easy file exchange with the host OS via a "Host Directory Tree" icon on the Mac desktop
- - Ethernet driver
- - Serial drivers
- - SCSI Manager (old-style) emulation
