Hello everyone!
Is there such a thing as a Mac emulator for a PC? I'd like to download
some Mac stuff from the internet, but the only computer that has internet
access is a PC.
Any suggestions (besides buying one of those Mac/PC programs)?
ThAnX,
-Jason

If all you want is to download them and pass them on to a Mac, then you
won't need an emulator. Just download them as binaries and put them on
floppy (or whichever media you desire) and transfer them to the Mac.
You don't even have to have a special format for the disks, Macs can
read a dos format. If you wish to run them on a pc then you will need an
emulator.

Try http://www.vmac.org. It's a nifty hardware emulator for a Mac Plus;
the only "downside" is that you need to capture the rom image from your
own Mac Plus (copyright issue). On my PII 266 it runs at about the speed
of a MacII.
The site also has links to OS's, software, etc.

Hi Aaron,
I downloaded the vMac emulator. I own two Mac Plus computers and I
still don't have a ROM image. In my opinion it is the biggest pain in
the rear I ever saw to get the ROM image. Just thought I would throw out
my two cents. Have a nice day! :)

There is a another mac emulator that runs in DOS called Fusion. It will
emulate a 68040 mac, and with the 1 meg rom, you can even run MacOS 8.1!
