BasiliskII 1.0 - A free, portable Mac 68k emulator.

Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables you to run 68k MacOS software on you computer, even if you are using a different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II (of course MacOS and Mac ROM are not included in this package).

Some features of Basilisk II: - Emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs MacOS 0.x thru 7.5) or a Mac II series machine (which runs MacOS 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1), depending on the ROM being used - Color video display - CD quality sound output - Floppy disk driver (only 1.44MB disks supported) - Driver for HFS partitions and hardfiles - CD-ROM driver with basic audio functions - Easy file exchange with the host OS via a "Host Directory Tree" icon on the Mac desktop - Copy and paste text between MacOS and the host OS (X11 clipboard) - Ethernet driver - Serial drivers - SCSI Manager (old-style) emulation - Emulates extended ADB keyboard and 3-button mouse

This version also features a JIT ("Just In Time") compiler, which speeds up the emulator by a factor of 10-15x with respect to the plain version.
