I'm leaning towards my beefed up A3000 because it is running 3.1 and has a lot of video options to play around with as it is.įor the ROM chip I picked up the Mac ' ROM-inator II Atom SIMM' from Big Mess o' Wires. I have a feeling that the A3K's MMU will help juice the video display speeds, not to mention the A3K being 32-bit should really help speed things up overall as well. I'll be putting this card in one of my A3000's. Commodore’s v2.04 or higher operating system.A hard drive partition for the emulation module software to be stored on.The ROMs come as four twenty-eight pin chips, or as a ROM-SIMM board. Apple 256K MAC ll/llx/llcx/SE-30 ROMs.In order to run this card, you need the following: So, “if you can’t port ‘em, run ‘em”.and an emulation system was born. With programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Aldus Freehand, Quark Express, Fractal Painter, and countless others, it proves that even though the Macintosh lacks the potential of the Amiga, it has some of the best software for it ever written, making it almost a requirement in the professional environment.īy now, Commodore must realize that these power-house applications will not be ‘ported’ to the Amiga platform. The Macintosh computer has revolutionized the computer industry with it’s strong points in user-friendliness and powerhouse software. My eyes are always wandering but lack of space is sometimes a blessing. These days I have 3 old Macs to get my fix (not including the stacks of more recent Apple stuff, including the machine I'm typing on right now): an unbearably gorgeous Qudara 700 40Mhz running System 7.5, an iMac 'Ruby' (my original) running 9.2, and a fully maxed out G3 Powerbook 'Pismo' also running 9.2. I later got my very own first Mac in 1999/2000 with the introduction of the beautifully colored iMacs. I also used more powerful (and to me, mysterious) beige Macintoshes in art school in the mid-90s. My high school had black and white Macintoshes, which I used for class. But that other 10% is a very proud pre-OS X collection of machines and software. Ninety percent of my collection consists entirely of C64/128/Amiga hardware and software. The Emplant Mac emulation card, designed by Jim Drew in 1992.ĭoug knows that I'm a big fan of classic Macs, much to his chagrin.
