Sio2OSX

Sio2OSX is a peripheral emulator for the Atari 8-bit computers that allows the Atari computer to use an OSX based Macintosh as a disk drive, a cassette drive, and a printer. Sio2OSX peforms functions similar to APE or SIO2PC on Windows based computers. Sio2OSX is a shareware program, and must be registered for full operation. The unregistered version of the program will run for 5 minutes before quiting, allowing you to verify operation with your hardware setup before purchase. The software can be easily registered for $25 through Kagi. A full manual is included within the application's Help menu. Note, as this does require serial USB hardware, and is a new product, please try it out on your hardware before you pay the registration fee. I'll be glad to answer any questions you might have by email.

Supermodel

Supermodel emulates Sega's Model 3 arcade platform, which powered Sega's arcade games released between 1996 and 1998 (Virtua Fighter 3, Daytona USA 2, Sega Rally 2, and more). The project is based an earlier (2003) emulator with the same name. The current focus is on accuracy above speed and usability, which is no mean feat given that no public documentation exists for the Model 3 platform.

Supermodel boasts an all-star cast of developers, helpers, and associates, including Bart Trzynadlowski, Nik Henson, Ville Linde, and R. Belmont.

Mini vMac

Mini vMac brings the 68k Macintosh to life on modern computers. It's targeted at emulating the entire family of Macs built with Motorola 680x0 processors, but currently it supports just a handful and is focused on the Macintosh Plus. It was originally conceived in 2001 as a spin-off project to Philip Cummins's larger vMac project, but has since grown to become vMac's successor.

You'll need to find a Mac Plus ROM image to run it, along with Apple System Software (it can handle System 1 right through to System 7.5.5).
