Apple II emulation on (an emulated) Macintosh #Apple #VintageComputing #RetroComputing
II in a Mac was the first Apple II emulator. The emulator ran on a 512K Mac and was released in November 1985. Initially it could run Apple II+ programs, but later evolved to include IIc and IIe software. This was long before the appearance of the 1991 Apple IIe Card for the Mac LC.
– Average performance was about half the speed of an Apple II.
– Extra Mac memory was used to emulate the Applied Engineering Ramworks II card.
– Text could be cut and pasted in either direction between the Mac and Apple II applications using the clipboard.
– Graphics could be cut and pasted from Apple II programs into Macpaint documents.
– Copy protected Apple II software does not work with the emulator.
– II-in-a-Mac had key disk copy protection but could be installed on a hard drive or double-sided Mac floppy disk.
The program is on the Internet Archive and may be run on their emulated Macintosh, effectively running an emulated Apple II on an emulated Mac in a browser.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
