This article is from the Apple ][ Emulator Resources Guide, by Alex Maddison with numerous contributions by others.
AVAILABILITY: Available for free download from: ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/apple_2_for_windows/apl2em/apl2em-2.zip ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/apple2/ibmpc/apl2em-2.zip
AUTHOR: Randy Spurlock <randys@gocart.eng.hou.compaq.com>.
STATUS: See Apl2Em-3.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apl2Em-2 emulates a 64K Apple ][+, but does not allow disk- swapping whilst in use. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the hard-disk from within the emulator. This means that although Apl2Em can run all of the 64K multi-disk software that Applemu cannot, you can only pre-load two disks (D1 and D2).
NOTE: Some people have found a way to "swap" disk-image files whilst the emulator is running by using the multi-tasking abilities of Windows or OS/2. It would be a case of moving the "SYSTEM.DSK" file (or whatever the default DSK name is for D1) out of the A2EM directory and replacing it with a subsequent disk (also titled "SYSTEM.DSK"). A routine to handle disk-swapping under OS/2 is available (see below).
ROMS: Apl2Em-2 does not come with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs. The missing ROMs are the main Apple ROMs ("APPLE.ROM") and disk-drive ROMs ("FLOPPY.ROM") - these ROMs can be copied from your old Apple ][ by following the procedures in the "dumping-ROMs" text file on wilbur. You don't really need the Serial ROMs to use Apl2Em-2 - just edit the "APPLE.INI" file at Slot 1 to read "Type=Empty". ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 Order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 80286 cpu with CGA graphics (will not display correctly on a monochrome monitor).
FURTHER REFERENCES: "APPLE.DOC" (Text file included in the archive). The "emulate-apple2-faq" contains a great deal of information on this emulator as well as converting disk-image files for us with it.
