Introduction

  Well, after over a month's absence (mostly due to poor newsfeed to my
provider :-( ), the newly-revised FAQ has returned. I have attempted to verify
the accuracy of the program locations, and out-of-date sites have been removed.
Sad news - "minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au" has discontinued its Apple FTP site; and
"ftp.et.byu.edu" (the old zaniWok site) no longer seems to carry Apple stuff
either... Other than that, there seems to be a number of new emulators in the
offering (particularly for the Macintosh) so stay tuned!

Alex.

*******************************************************************************

1) The Apple ROMs

  According to the 'Apple ][ User's Guide', the read-only memory (ROM)
"contents never change, even when you turn the power off. ROM contains the
programs which give the Apple II its unique identity and enables it to
understand and respond appropriately to the commands you type in at the
keyboard." (p.4)  Every computer contains ROMs, and understandably, they are
copyrighted by the manufacturer. As such, many of the emulator packages
listed below do not include the ROMs required to emulate an Apple ][. ROMs
can be duplicated from your original Apple computer in the form of binary
files - usually the Apple, disk-drive and serial ROMs. Instructions for
saving the information from the ROMs into binary files can be found in the
text file "dumping-ROMs" available on wilbur. Emulator packages which do not
include the ROMs often include instructions on dumping ROMs. This information
is specifically indicated in the descriptions below. As an aside, the main
Apple ROMs are included on the original DOS3.3 System Master Disk, in the
"FPBASIC" and "INTBASIC" binary files.

2) Apple ][ emulators

The SHORT DESCRIPTION is intended only as a general guide; refer to the
documentation that comes with each package for the complete technical
information. The DISK-IMAGE FORMATS are explained in Chapter 6.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT WILBUR.STANFORD.EDU (AKA FOGHORN.STANFORD.EDU):
The /pub/apple2/, /pub/apple2/DiskImages and /pub/apple2/incoming directories
on wilbur are now unreadable (ie. they no longer produce a file list, with the
"ls", "ls -la" or "dir" commands"). The files listed in this document are still
there and can be retrieved normally. Specify download filenames EXACTLY using a
normal shell FTP process. AmericaOnline (AOL), WinFTP, Macintosh Fetch and other
browser users will *NOT* be able to retrieve files from wilbur. If you are
using this document through WWW then the hypertext links should work.

AUTHOR: Claudio Nieder <[email-masked]>.

STATUS: Unknown.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Amiga On Apple emulates a 48K Apple ][+, with two disk
drives (read/write but not save). It runs BASIC programs at 1/10 the speed
of an Apple ][ and disk access can be as slow as 1/60 of an Apple ][.
Booting can take five to six minutes. Written in Modula-2.

ROMS: Apple On Amiga does not come with the necessary ROMs. These ROMs can be
copied from your old Apple ][ by following the procedures in the "Readme" text
file included with the package (including an uncompiled Apple ][ program which
must be transferred).
ftp://ftp.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/apple.rom

Older versions as below:
ftp://grind.isca.uiowa.edu/amiga/emulators/Apple2000v1.lha

AUTHOR: Kevin Kralian <[email-masked]>.

STATUS: Further development ceased. The author posted a message to
comp.sys.amiga.emulations stating that he will no longer be doing anything
for the Amiga, therefore V1.3 is the last version.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apple 2000 emulates a 64K Apple ][+, allowing loading
(Right-Amiga-L) from and saving (Right-Amiga-S) to DDD Apple compressed
disk archives from any Amiga device. All video modes are available
(Text, LoRes, HiRes and mixed), along with a two button joystick.
Apple 2000 is able to instantly load and run Apple files from any Amiga
device (without "disk-booting"). The emulator supports Amiga multi-tasking.
 Version 1.3 introduces a number of improvements in the emulator;
be sure to read the documentation.

ROMS: Apple 2000 does not come with the necessary ROMs. The missing ROMs are
the disk-drive ROMs ("_DISK.ROM") and main Apple ROMs ("_APPLE.ROM") - these
ROMs can be copied from your old Apple ][ by following the procedures in the
"Apple 2000.doc" text file included with the package.
ftp://ftp.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/apple.rom

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DDD archives, plain Apple ][ files, raw disk-images
(size: 220 kilobytes), and DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes) - see Chapter
6 below.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 68020 Amiga with Kickstart 2.0, 1MB RAM and
ReqTools.library (by Nico FranÁois). Will not work on 68000 Amiga (A500,2000).

FURTHER REFERENCE: "Apple 2000.doc" (Text file included in the archive).

Deja ][
-------

AUTHOR: Randy Brandt <[email-masked]> (JEM Software).

STATUS: Under development.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: An AppleWorks emulator for 68K and PPC Macintoshes. From a
post on "comp.sys.apple2":  "It supports most TimeOut applications, including
UltraMacros.  It also tightly integrates AppleWorks 5 and the Mac environment.
This includes automatic conversion between Macintosh and AppleWorks clipboards,
being able to traverse through your Macintosh hard disk (no Prodos partition
required), and macro commands to access Mac functions (like speaking text,
dialing). And if you have PCExchange (or System 7.5), it will read Apple II
3.5" disks as well. It, however, is not a generic emulator".

Mac Apple IIe Emulator (Emsrc.sit)
----------------------

AVAILABILITY: See below.

AUTHOR: Sheldon Simms <[email-masked]>.

STATUS: Source code released for public modification.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: An Apple //e emulator for 68K Macintoshes. The binhexed
Think C 7.0 code was posted to "comp.emulators.apple2" on 5 July 1995.
According to the author's accompanying message, it is an "emulator that boots
into basic. I don't have time to work on it now so I'm posting the source in
case anyone else wants to mess with it. It has a 65816 emulator (well 65802
really)...There's no documentation other than internal documentation."

ROMS: N/A.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: N/A.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Unknown.

FURTHER REFERENCE: None.

Stop The Madness (version 0.851r)
----------------

AVAILABILITY: Available for anonymous FTP from:

ftp://ftp.unsw.edu.au/pub/mac/emulators/STM-0851r.hqx
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/STM0.851r.sea.hqx

AUTHOR: Kevin Lund <[email-masked]> & Jim Nitchals.

STATUS: See STM v0.881r.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Stop The Madness emulates a 64K Apple ][+, and allows
disk-swapping. Although it cannot "save" (write information to a disk
image) a small program called Save The Madness can be used simultaneously
with STM (under Multifinder or System 7), writing altered disk-image files
(see below).

ROMS: STM comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use after
decompression.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power
Macintosh models. Runs ONLY in 256-colours! Will not display a picture on
"compact" (B&W) Macintoshes.

  NOTE: On desktop Macintoshes, you must set the "Colors" control panel
to 256-colors, as STM does not support higher colour modes. This problem
has erroneously been interpreted as non-compatibility of the emulator with
some Macintoshes.

FURTHER REFERENCE: "docs 0.85" (DOCMaker file included in the archive), and
"docs" (DOCMaker file included in the "Disks-n-Docs0.81.hqx" archive. Full
documentation for STM does not yet exist.

ftp://ftp.unsw.edu.au/pub/mac/emulators/STM-0.881.hqx

AUTHOR: Kevin Lund <[email-masked]> & Jim Nitchals.

STATUS: Development in progress.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Stop The Madness emulates a 64K Apple ][+, and allows
disk-swapping. Version 0.881r (formerly known as 0.872d) is far more versatile
than the previous version; configurable "modules" allow expansion limited only
by available memory - for example, STM can support four Disk II drives.
Additionally, STM can now "save" disk-images (see below).

ROMS: STM comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use after
decompression.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes), and non-standard
"pre-nibbleized". This second type is the only format the Disk II module will
save images into. From the documentation: "this format is bulkier than the
'.DSK' format, and has no cross-platform compatibility, but is more flexible,
allowing non-standard formats and 1/4 track resolution." Version 1.00 of SaveTM
(see below) is also compatible with STM 0.881r for those who prefer standard
disk-image output.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power
Macintosh models - with System 7. Runs ONLY in 256-colours! Will not display a
picture on "compact" (B&W) Macintoshes.

  NOTE: On desktop Macintoshes, you must set the "Colors" control panel
to 256-colors, as STM does not support higher colour modes. This problem
has erroneously been interpreted as non-compatibility of the emulator with
some Macintoshes.

ROMS: N/A.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: N/A. The card actually runs original software on 5.25" or
3.5" diskette, although it can be used to create disk-images for use with
other emulators.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Macintosh LC with PDS slot supporting 24-bit adressing,
including the LC, LCII, LCIII, Color Classic, Color Classic II, LC 520, LC 550,
LC 475/Quadra 605, LC 575 and the Performa 4xx and 5xx lines except the Quadra
630, LC/Performa 580 and 5200/75 LC.

][ in a Mac
-----------

AVAILABILITY: Commercial product.

AUTHOR: COMPUTER:applications
           12813 Lindeley Drive
           Raleigh, NC 27614

STATUS: Development ceased.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: ][ in a Mac is a package which emulates an Apple //e.
Functionally, it is probably similar to it's PC counterpart, "][ in a PC" (see
below) with the following exceptions: it runs at sixty percent of the standard
//e speed (presumably on a Plus or SE), uses only a portion of the Mac
screen, has no colour support and limited graphics, no "real" joystick,
doesn't handle copy-protected software, and can create problems with keyboard
translation and modem port detection on some Macs.

ROMS: N/A.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: Non-standard.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: MacPlus or SE. Some older versions of the software didn't
run on the Mac II line. The software will not display colour even on colour
Macintosh systems.

AUTHOR: Darek Mihocka.

STATUS: Unknown (date on readme file: Dec. 31, 1986).

SHORT DESCRIPTION: An Apple ][ emulator for the Atari ST. Excerpted from the
documentation: "it can be used as a tool to learn 6502 machine language, but
also, it allows the ST to run Apple...software."

ROMS: Apple ][ does not include the necessary ROMS - they must be copied from
your Apple and titled "APPLSOFT.BIN" and "INTBASIC.BIN".
ftp://ftp.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/apple.rom

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: N/A. Binary files must be transferred from the Apple ][ and
then converted using a source code program from Apple monitor hex dump into an
Atari DOS (.BIN) format.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Atari ST with 512K, colour or monochrome.

ftp://ftp.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/apple2-emul-v001-linux.tar
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/linux/util/emulators/apple2.tar.gz
(v0.00 was distributed under the filename: "apple2.tar.gz").

AUTHOR: Alexander Bottema <[email-masked]>.

STATUS: Development in progress.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: "It is partly written in 386 (AT&T) assembler and partly
in C. You can switch diskettes using a diskette database through an intuitive
interface. Furthermore, it is possible to trim the speed of the emulator and
it runs in full speed (approximately) twice as fast as an standard Apple II+
on a 486DX-50...[It uses] the svgalib's key scancodes. I've also taken the
opportunity to implement the undocumented 6502 instructions. I've noticed that
at least two games use these undocumented instrucions; Bug Attack and MS
Pacman. Currently I have transfered about 40 diskettes to my emulator and all
programs/games seem to work" (from a post on comp.emulators.apple2).
  NOTE: The Apple ][ emulator at "sunsite.unc.edu" (/pub/Linux/system/
Emulators/apple2.tar.Z) is not part of this emulator's distribution. This is
actually a copy of Peter Koch's emulator (see "apple2.tar.Z" in the Unix/NeXT
section below).

ROMS: Unknown.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: (from the original post) Kernel 1.0 and above,
SVGAlib 1.06 but below 1.08, and libc 4.4.4 and greater.

-------

AVAILABILITY: Available for anonymous FTP from:
ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/apple2/ibmpc/applemu.zip
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/applemu.zip

AUTHOR: Unknown.

STATUS: Further development ceased.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Applemu emulates a 48K Apple ][+, and allows disk-
swapping. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the hard-disk from within
the emulator. An option to write protect the disk-image being loaded into
either drive is offered. The function keys control disk-swapping routines.
Unfortunately, most of the more advanced Apple software requires a 64K machine,
and thus will not load on Applemu. The Apple ROMs are stored in "APPLBIOS.COM".

  NOTE: To run Intbasic programs, get the "INTBASIC.COM" file from wilbur,
rename "APPLBIOS.COM" as "FPBASIC.COM", and then rename "INTBASIC.COM" as
"APPLBIOS.COM".

ROMS: Applemu comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use
after decompression.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: Nibblized Dos Order (NDO - size: 232960 bytes).

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 80286 cpu with CGA graphics (recommended) - according to
the documentation, any PC with "128K memory, DOS 2.0 or greater", although on a
4.77 MHZ 8088 it takes almost a minute to boot a disk.

FURTHER REFERENCES: "APPLE.DOC" (Text file included in the archive). The
"Apple2 Emulation Frequently Asked Questions" guide contains a great deal of
information on this emulator as well as converting disk-image files for use
with it.

AUTHOR: Randy Spurlock <[email-masked]>.

STATUS: See Apl2Em-2.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apl2Em emulates a 64K Apple][+, but does not allow disk-
swapping whilst in use. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the hard-
disk from within the emulator. This means that although Apl2Em can run all
of the 64K multi-disk software that Applemu cannot, you can only pre-load
two disks (D1 and D2).

ROMS: Apl2Em comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use
after decompression. The disk-drive controller ROMs are stored in "DISK.ROM"
and the Apple ROMs in "APPLE.ROM".

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 Order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).

AUTHOR: Randy Spurlock <[email-masked]>.

STATUS: Development in progress.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apl2Em-2 emulates a 64K Apple ][+, but does not allow disk-
swapping whilst in use. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the hard-
disk from within the emulator. This means that although Apl2Em can run all
of the 64K multi-disk software that Applemu cannot, you can only pre-load
two disks (D1 and D2).

  NOTE: Some people have found a way to "swap" disk-image files whilst
the emulator is running by using the multi-tasking abilities of Windows or
OS/2. It would be a case of moving the "SYSTEM.DSK" file (or whatever the
default DSK name is for D1) out of the A2EM directory and replacing it with
a subsequent disk (also titled "SYSTEM.DSK"). A routine to handle disk-
swapping under OS/2 is available (see below).

ROMS: Apl2Em-2 does not come with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs. The missing
ROMs are the disk-drive ROMs ("FLOPPY.ROM") and main Apple ROMs ("APPLE.ROM")
- these ROMs can be copied from your old Apple ][ by following the procedures
in the "dumping-ROMs" text file on wilbur. You don't really need the Serial
ROMs to use Apl2Em-2 - just edit the "APPLE.INI" file at Slot 1 to read
"Type=Empty".

AVAILABILITY: Available for anonymous FTP from:
ftp://ftp.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/applewin/aplwinb2.zip
ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/ap/applewin/aplwinb2.zip

AUTHOR: Michael O'Brien <[email-masked]>.

STATUS: Beta testing in progress.

SHORT DESCRIPTION:
AppleWin is a 32-bit Windows program which emulates a "Platinum" model enhanced
Apple //e with 128k RAM.  It supports all video modes, including double
high-res and mixed mode.  It plays sound through a sound card (preferred) or
the PC speaker.  It supports emulating an Apple joystick using the PC keyboard,
joystick, or mouse.  It allows saving to disk images and on-the-fly swapping of
disk images.

There are two versions of AppleWin, both included in the ZIP file:
applew31.exe -- Use this version if you are running Windows 3.1 or Windows for
                Workgroups.  You must also install the Win32s 32-bit
                extensions, which are available from the same FTP site.
applewin.exe -- Use this version if you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT.

It is recommended that you switch your video card to 256-color mode for best
performance when running AppleWin.  If you are having trouble using AppleWin
with your video driver, or trouble formatting disks under AppleWin, obtain and
install "patch2.zip" which is available from the same FTP site.

If you do not have a joystick driver for Windows, you can obtain "ibmjoy.zip"
from the FTP site.  Remember to calibrate your joystick using the Windows
Contol Panel before using it in AppleWin.

By default, AppleWin controls its emulation speed so that it runs exactly as
fast as a real Apple //e.  If you would like for it to run as fast as possible
on your system, click on the Configuration button (on the bottom) and turn off
the "control system speed" option.

ROMS: AppleWin comes with the necessary Apple ][+ and //e ROMs, stored in
"APPLE2.ROM" and "APPLE2E.ROM".

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3, ProDOS and nibblized orders (auto-detecting).

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 80486 or better running Windows 95, Windows NT 3.5, or
Windows 3.1 (Windows 3.1 requires Win32s).

FURTHER REFERENCES: "README.TXT" (Text file included in the archive).  Online
help available from within AppleWin.

Excerpted from a message from Doug Kwan (thanks for the e-mail! - Alex):

"The name of the emulator is now YAE (Yet another Apple ][ Emulator) though the

SHORT DESCRIPTION: From a posting by the author to comp.emulators.apple2:
"In addition to the SPARC based Apple ][ emulator I have uploaded to
wilbur. I have just uploaded another two binaries for Silicon Graphics
workstations and IBM RS6000 workstations (include PowerPC). These files
are apple2.mips.gz (40k) and apple2.ibm.gz (21k) respectively. The non-Sun
versions do not have a compiler built in but games are very playable with 
medium fast to very fast workstations. Even with a lot of graphics, the SGI 
version runs almost native on an R4000 indigo and run faster than a real 
Apple on an Indigo2 Extreme. The SGI version supports audio."

                          DISK-IMAGE & SOFTWARE SITES
                          ===========================

A NOTE ABOUT DISK-IMAGES - Like the Apple ][ ROMs, disk-images are duplicates
of copyrighted material; as a result, few FTP sites feel that they can
legally maintain copies of such software. However, from a commercial point of
view, the majority of said software is no longer for sale (notable exceptions
include the Ultima and Infocom series) and most of the companies themselves no
longer exist. Basically, the software in it's original format would not be
commercially viable EXCEPT to the emulator market, but the Apple ][ community
still exists to a greater extent than the C64 and Spectrum platforms (which
both possess FTP sites of disk-image software) so the capacity to transfer
disk-images BACK to the Apple computer is seen as a possible source of
software piracy. Some Apple ][ software has been released into the public
domain, is free or Shareware (as indicated below): these include the Eamon
adventure series amongst others. Most of this type of software is, however,
not in disk-image format and can be found on the FTP sites below.

4) Compression techniques

The list of extensions below will indicate what format the compression or
translation is; from there refer to the "compression" document for cross-
platform applications or executables. For Apple ][ compression formats (which
are not covered here) check Q#5-9 in Part 1 of "COMP.SYS.APPLE2 - Frequently
Asked Questions".
ftp://ftp.cso.uiuc.edu/doc/pcnet/compression (128.174.5.61)

  .arc       Arc (Amiga/Atari) - transfer as a binary file [DArj/TEXT]
  .arj       Arj (PC) - transfer as a binary file [arc@/TEXT]
* .bin       BinHex 5.0/MacBinary (Mac) - transfer as a binary file [BnHq/TEXT]
  .cpt       Compact Pro (Mac) - transfer as a binary file [CPCT/PACT]

  .zoo       Zoo (Amiga/PC) - transfer as a binary file [Booz/ZOO_]

[Square brackets] denote Macintosh file creator/type information (_ = space).

* These formats are translators; uuencoding (.uue) and binhexing (.hqx) are
used to convert binary files into text files so that they can be posted to a
binary newsgroup or e-mailed. The BinHex 5.0 format (.bin) is Macintosh-
specific; it is used to append the file/type creator information to the file
in the first 128 bytes. Although emulators such as AppleWin can read disks with
the MacBinary header, for compatibility with other emulators it is often better
to remove the header. On the PC, use "bin2dsk" or "mactopc".
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/incoming/bin2dsk.zip
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/incoming/mactopc.exe

# These formats are single-file compressors - the other compressors on the list
compress AND archive. Consequently, .Z and .gz are often used in conjunction
with other archivers, primarily Tar (.tar), resulting in the following:
"filename.tar.gz" or "filename.tar.Z". Usually easier to remove on a Unix
platform prior to download (use "uncompress" or "gzip" to extract).

$ Okay, so I said I wasn't going to cover Apple ][ formats... Grab "Nulib" for
the PC or Unix to extract shrunk disk-images from this type of archive (usually
shown by .SDK rather than .SHK). For Macintosh users, EGO Systems are making
available a commercial product called "Shrink II" which can create/extract
NuFX/ShrinkIt archives and other Apple II formats. Due out around October for
US$39.95. Additionally, Matthew Russotto <[email-masked]> compiled "A2dearc",
a Macintosh archiver for .SHK, .QQ and .HQX files.

ftp://ftp.cco.caltech.edu/pub/apple2/ARCHIVERS/nulib324.tar.Z (Unix source)
ftp://ftp.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/A2dearc.gz

IMPORTANT NOTE: Where a filename possesses two or more extensions (eg.
"filename.tar.gz" or "filename.sit.hqx") ALWAYS download the file according
to the LAST extension (ie. if the last extension is .uue then it is safe to
download it as text). If in doubt, download it as a BINARY file. When
processing, start at the LAST extension and work inwards. Remember, if using
a PC, it is only possible to have one extension visible in the filename at
a time.

5) Creating/extracting disk-images

  Eager PC-owners have no doubt turned quickly to this section to learn how to
read Apple ][ disks in their 5.25" drives... Well, you can't. Basically, PC
drives and Apple drives use different encoding techniques. Check out Part 1,#11
in "Apple2 Emulation Frequently Asked Questions" guide for more information.
Owners of Amiga 5.25" drives can read Apple ][ (and Commodore 64) disks (see
below).
  To create disk-images on an Apple ][ requires more than just the computer
and 5.25" drive. Any model prior to a //C or IIGS will additionally require a
serial card, and all models require a modem and/or null modem cable. A 3.5"
drive, RAM disk, hard-disk or network drive is also recommended since whole
disk-images cannot be stored on 5.25" floppies, although segmentation programs
are available (see below).

                          MAKING STANDARD DISK-IMAGES

  There are three primary methods (and associated software) which can be
used to create and transfer disk-images from an Apple ][ (of any 
persuasion) to the required platform (Amiga, Macintosh or IBM-PC). To 
transfer ROMs or text files (or indeed any file from an Apple ][), just 
substitute those files in place of the disk-images in the following examples.
For Apple ][/IIGS compatibility on the Apple end (3.5" drives, using Macintosh
disks on the IIGS, etc.) check Q#37-45 in Part 2 of "COMP.SYS.APPLE2 -
Frequently Asked Questions".

(i) A must for anyone creating disk-images is "DSK2FILE 2.0" by Ron Kneusel
<[email-masked]>, which contains a small Applesoft Basic/Binary 
program which MUST be saved/compiled under ProDOS. When run on an Apple ]] 
the program will read the contents of a 5.25" (unprotected) disk and 
write them to a specified path (this can be into your Apple's RAM, or onto an
800K ProDOS 3.5" disk, etc.) as a disk-image. Alternatively, use a Macintosh
LC which has the IIE card attached (once again using the "ProDOS File System"
extension). Place your 5.25" disk into the attached drive and use the "dsk2file"
program under the emulator, this time specifying either the Macintosh hard-
drive, RAM, or the 3.5" floppy as the path. From there, take the ProDOS 800K
disk and insert it into a Macintosh running either the "ProDOS File System"
extension, System 7.5 (with standard DOS-mounting software) or use Apple File
Exchange. Then, it is a relatively simple matter to either transfer the file to
the PC (see below) or set the File Type and Creator (DSK5/A2EM) information for
the Macintosh emulator STM.
    Amiga owners with an Amiga 1020 5.25" disk-drive (or equivalent) can use
"Disk2File" by Ron Menelli <[email-masked]> to read unprotected Apple 5.25"
disks and create a standard disk-image. A 40 track drive is recommended,
although 80 track drives are supported. There MAY be problems with drive-speed
reading Apple ][ disks; this can be adjusted following instructions
appearing in the "1541.doc" file ("1541" allows Amiga 5.25" drives to read
C64 disks). "Disk2File" is included as part of the "Apple2000" emulator package
for the Amiga.

PROGRAM LOCATIONS:
ftp://141.106.68.98/apple2/dsk2file/dsk2file.zip
ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/systems/amiga/aminet/misc/emu/1541.lha
ftp://ftp.apple.com/software/aii/lc.iiecard/iie-startup-disk-image.hqx
(the "ProDOS File System" is part of the disk-image - use Disk Copy to extract).
ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/apple2/amiga/Apple2000v13.lha (contains "Disk2File")

    NOTE: It is a great deal easier to transfer disk-images from the Macintosh
or Amiga to the PC (via 720K or 1.44Mb DOS disks) than it is from the Apple ][
straight to the PC (although there are hardware boards to connect Apple 5.25"
drives to the PC, they are rare). On the Macintosh, use either PC Exchange
software (which allows PC 720K and 1.44Mb disks to be inserted into Mac HD
disk-drives), Apple File Exchange, or System 7.5 (with standard DOS-mounting
software). On the PC, use Macsee or Mac-Ette (both Shareware) or Macindos, which
all read 1.44Mb Macintosh disks. On the Amiga, use Dos2Dos (KS 1.2/1.3) or
CrossDOS (inbuilt KS/WB2.1) to read 720K DOS disks in the Amiga 3.5" drive.
NOTE: Macintosh 400/800K disks are NOT compatible with either Amiga or PC
drives. Always ensure Binary/Data translation rather than MacBinary!

(ii) The second method of transferring disk-images from the Apple ][ requires
a serial card and a modem on the Apple ][, and a modem on the platform you
are sending to (this method can be used for long-distance transfers). The
program "diskread" contains a BASIC program by Damon J. Rand
<[email-masked]> that will create disk-images and allow the
file to be segmented if you don't have a 3.5" drive. Alternatively, "RTRK" by
Andrew Kingdom <[email-masked]> will write disk-images from 5.25" disks to
larger volumes. The Apple archiver ShrinkIt can make a compressed disk-image
which can be decompressed on either a PC or Unix system using "Nulib" (the
resulting image will be ProDOS order rather than DOS3.3 order). For further
information on Apple ][ compression, check Q#5-9 in Part 1 of "COMP.SYS.APPLE2 -
Frequently Asked Questions". It is then possible to transmit the disk-images
via modem to another computer.

ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/nulib.zip (PC version)
ftp://ftp.cco.caltech.edu/pub/apple2/ARCHIVERS/nulib324.tar.Z (Unix source)

(iii) By far the most common way of creating/transferring disk-images is to
connect your Apple to either a Macintosh or PC via null modem cable. The
following files: "a2pctr11" by Nye Liu <[email-masked]>, "SendDisk"
by Rich Williamson <[email-masked]> and "ADT120" by Paul Guertin
<[email-masked]> contain Apple programs which read existing disk-
images and then transmit that information via null modem cable or network (see
(i) and (ii) above for programs to create/segment disk-images). If you are a
Macintosh user, try "MacADT120a1s" (Alpha-release executable and archive
including Apple ADT program "adt.dmp") and "MacADT1.2.0d1" (development
version of MacADT executable) by Hideki Naito <[email-masked]> -
this gives a better Macintosh interface. On the PC or the Macintosh, use a
terminal program to capture the disk-images. The precise setup of the cable
depends on your computers - older Apple ][s require a serial card, whereas the
//c and IIGS have an inbuilt serial port. Consult the manual that came with
your Apple and determine the serial connection required, as well as the serial
connection on the computer you are transferring the data to. An Apple ][ binary
of ADT100 is available from "grind.isca.uiowa.edu", for those without a PC to
translate and decompress the Apple section of the program.
    The "][ in a Mac" emulator by COMPUTER:applications, Inc. also possesses
the ability to create (non-standard) disk-images via a null-modem cable.
    If you don't have a serial card on your Apple, try "Ap2222PC" by Clay
Chang. This program will transfer disk and sequential text files between the
PC and Apple using the Apple game I/O port and the PC parallel port (48K DOS
only!). Or, try "SoundReader" by Mike Kienenberger <[email-masked]>,
which transmits binary data from an Apple to a NeXT via the audio ports on
the respective machines.

                            EXTRACTING DISK-IMAGES

It is currently possible to convert a disk-image BACK to the Apple ][ platform
onto a 5.25" disk. Use "UnImage v0.1" by Ivan Drucker <[email-masked]> to
convert disk-images back to disks (the disk-image must be on a mounted ProDOS
volume). One of the options of "DSK2FILE 2.0" by Ron Kneusel
<[email-masked]> is to write an image file back to 5.25" floppies.
Alternatively, "DeImage v0.1" by Ivan Drucker extracts Applesoft and Binary
files from disk-images into ProDOS, although the process will only work
with standard DOS3.3 disks (ie. disks possessing a catalog). Finally,
"UnForkIt v0.1" also by Ivan Drucker converts forked files on ProDOS volumes
to one or two unforked files.

6) Disk-image formats & conversion

MACINTOSH/PC/UNIX

There are four main types of cross-platform disk-images. The first three are
also covered in Part 13 of the "Apple2 Emulation Frequently Asked Questions"
guide and the last in the "SIMIIE.DOC" file included as part of the SimIIe
package. Nibble images and the creation of images from protected software is
covered in the "Sst.readme" file included as part of the SST package.

THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS APPLY TO UNCOMPRESSED DISK-IMAGE FILES ONLY!
Disk-images CAN be copied between platforms and they WILL work with a variety
of emulators. If in doubt ALWAYS ensure BINARY translation between platforms!

1) DOS3.3 Order (DO/.DSK) - The most widely-used disk-image format, easily
translated into other formats. As suggested by the title, data is stored track
by track and sector by sector (Track 0, Sector 0 -> Track 22, Sector 15) for a
standard 1:1 copy of a 35 track, 16 sector DOS 3.3 disk (256 bytes per sector).
It usually has a .DSK extension. This image is 143360 bytes in size (143488 with
MacBinary header).

On the MACINTOSH - DO: To use this format with Stop The Madness, ensure that the
file is downloaded or transferred in binary - not Macbinary - mode (and is
143360 bytes) and then set the file type to DSK5 and the creator to A2EM using
ResEdit, UUlite, etc. STM will *NOT* recognize the disk-image unless it has the
correct file type/creator, even if it is of the correct size and is a binary
file. "Drop?Disk" is a drag-and-drop application which automatically converts
the file type and creator of disk-images for use with STM. There are a number of
utilities for the Macintosh which modify disk-images: "Easy.STM Convert.1.0" by
Jim Surine <[email-masked]>, "Aconv v1.0" by Dan Bornstein and "Converter"
will reorder disk-image sectors into the DO type used by STM.

PROGRAM LOCATIONS:
ftp://cassandra.ucr.edu/pub/apple2/converter.hqx
ftp://cassandra.ucr.edu/pub/apple2/easy.convert.1.0.sea.hqx

On the PC - To use this format with Apl2Em or Applewin, ensure that the file
is downloaded or transferred in binary mode (and is 143360 bytes) and that it
has an eight character filename and .DSK extension. The current version of
Apl2Em requires that the D1 and D2 disk-images have default names (usually
SYSTEM.DSK and BLANK.DSK respectively), so you will have to rename your
disk-image files to use them. Applewin can actually read .DSK files of 143488
bytes (.bin files) but for compatibility with other emulators it is better to
translate the files correctly prior to use. No other form of conversion is
necessary.
            DO to PO: To re-order the sectors into ProDOS order, use the
Mapper program.

PROGRAM LOCATIONS:
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/mapper.zip

2) ProDOS Order (PO/.DSK) - An older disk-image format (used more widely with
Unix emulators, since ShrinkIt archives extracted by Nulib produce PO images)
which is the same size as the DO format.  This disk-image stores data in block
rather than track/sector format (block 0, block 1 -> block 279) - the difference
in the structure is due to ProDOS interleaving data in blocks (which equal two
DOS sectors). This image is also 143360 bytes in size.

On the MACINTOSH - PO to DO: The file must be downloaded in binary mode. The
application "Easy Convert" will re-order the sectors of a disk-image into DOS3.3
Order. This will automatically set the file type/creator attributes upon output
to DSK5/A2EM.  Alternatively, use "ProDOS-Order Converter".

PROGRAM LOCATIONS:
ftp://cassandra.ucr.edu/pub/apple2/easy.convert.1.0.sea.hqx
ftp://ftp.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/Po_to_Do.gz

On the PC - PO to DO: To re-order the sectors into DOS3.3 order, use the
Mapper program.

PROGRAM LOCATIONS:
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/mapper.zip

3) Nybblized DOS3.3 Order (NDO/.NIB) - Unlike the previous two disk-image
formats, NDO is structured by a nibble editor. According to Part 1,#13 of the
"Apple2 Emulation Frequently Asked Questions" guide, "every three bytes of data
have been 'bit twiddled' into four bytes, and each sector has an 'address field'
that has the track and sector numbers." Originally used only by ApplEmu to store
standard software, NDO can be used to store copy-protected or non-standard Apple
disk-images (created by SST - see "Super Saltines Transcopy" in Chapter 5 of
this FAQ). The conversion utilities listed below are solely for use with ApplEmu
images! This image is 232960 bytes in size.

On the MACINTOSH - There is currently no way to convert either from or to NDO
on the Macintosh.

On the PC - DO to NDO: To convert PO disk-images to NDO (for use with
Applemu), use the "Em2Emu" program.
            NDO to DO: Use the program "Emu2Em" to re-order this format back
into the "standard" 143360 size.

PROGRAM LOCATIONS:
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/em2emu.zip
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/incoming/emu2em.zip

4) SimIIe (IIE/.IIE) - This format is used solely by SimSystem IIe, and is
recognized by a .IIE extension. According to "SIMIIE.DOC" this format adds a
30 byte header to the binary and GCR disk-images (none of the other formats
possess a header) and adjusts the interleaving of the binary disk-image from
DOS3.3 to raw hardware format. The binary format is used to store non copy-
protected images.  This image is 143390 bytes in size. Since no FTP sites store
disk-images in IIE format, there is currently no need for a program to convert
IIE back to DO or NDO formats. According to the "SIMIIE.DOC" this image can also
store GCR format - "disk data in its purest GCR encoded format, the same way it
is stored on a real Apple II...which makes this format suitable for many copy-
protection methods used on Apple II products." GCR format files will vary in
length - usually greater than 200K.

On the MACINTOSH - There is currently no way to convert either from or to IIE
on the Macintosh.

On the PC - DO to IIE: Use "Dsk2iie" to convert disks from Apl2Em (DO) format
to SimIIe format. SimIIe utilities, including "dsk2iie", are available in the
"sim2du10.zip" archive released by Galen C. Hunt <[email-masked]>.

PROGRAM LOCATIONS:
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/incoming/dsk2iie.zip
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/incoming/sim2du10.zip

AMIGA

The Apple 2000 emulator on the Amiga uses three disk-image formats (this
section is excerpted from the "Apple 2000.doc" file included with the
Apple 2000 package).

1) DDD - Dalton Disk Disintegrator archives (DDD was a common disk
compression utility for the Apple). The emulator automatically decompresses
them. Archives of this format can be saved on the Amiga and transferred
back to the Apple.

2) .DISK - Filenames with a .DISK suffix are raw disk-images with no
compression. They are capable of storing images of non-DOS and copy-
protected disks, but are about 220K in size. According to the
documentation, this format is to be phased out of the emulator.

3) .PROG - Filenames with a .PROG suffix are executable files; these are
single files that were runnable from Apple DOS 3.3/ProDOS and did not
require any disk access thereafter. These files now do not even require
booting any Apple disk  and are simply loaded into the appropriate Apple
memory areas and instantly started.

As to using the "standard" 143360 byte disk-image (see below) with Apple 2000,
they MUST be fully translated and decompressed - especially with regard to the
128 byte header added by Binhex 5 (.bin) on the Macintosh. Then rename the
143360 byte disk-image with a .disk extension.

***These Amiga formats are included for the sake of completeness - no disk-
images are stored in these formats on FTP sites (except for Apple ][ archives,
which contain Applesoft/Basic files and can be used with the .PROG extension
on the Amiga).***

*******************************************************************************

7) Working with disk-images

ADDING/REMOVING FILES

  Applications exist which allow the incorporation of single DOS 3.3 files -
such as those found on "pure" Apple ][ FTP sites or in the Apple binary
newsgroup - into existing or new disk-images. Programs such as "dsk_in" &
"dsk_out" by Tom Baker <[email-masked]> and "VIEWDISK" and can write
Apple files into disk-images, and extract same to MSDOS files. For Windows
users, try "a2dsk v001" by Jeff Miller. On the Macintosh, "Apple ][ DOS 3.3
Utility v1.0.0" and "A2 Disk Edit v1.1.0" by Hideki Naito
<[email-masked]> offer the ability to transfer different types of
Basic (binary and Applesoft) files as well as text files. For SimSystem disk-
images, use "aftp" by Galen C. Hunt <[email-masked]> which browses,
extracts and adds files to SimIIe disk (.IIE) and hard-disk volumes (.HDV) -
part of the "sim2du10" archive. The SST package contains ANSI C, MSDOS and
Amiga executables for "EXTRACT", a file which extracts binary files from disk-
images. Amiga users can also use "afid" by George Phillips <[email-masked]>
on DOS3.3 disk-images to catalog, read and write files. "Afid" is included as
part of the "Apple2000" emulator package for the Amiga. By the same author,
"udisk" is a program (in C source code) which can read files from ProDOS and
C64 1541 disk-images.

These applications are of vital use to use who do not possess the ability to
make disk-images on an original Apple ][; finding a single Apple file on an FTP
site and using it with an emulator is no longer an insurmountable problem.
Unfortunately, most of the utilities described above are designed only for DOS
3.3 disks and will not work on ProDOS volumes.

CATALOGING

  To catalog a disk-image without running an emulator, try "catalogger" by
Kevin Lund <[email-masked]> on the Macintosh or "dsk_cat.zip" on
the PC. For SimIIe disk-images, use "aftp" by Galen C. Hunt
<[email-masked]> - part of the "sim2du10" archive. The SST package
contains ANSI C, MSDOS and Amiga executables for "CATALOG", a file which
catalogs standard DOS 3.3 images. Amiga users can also use "afid" by George
Phillips <[email-masked]> on DOS3.3 disk-images to catalog, read and write
files. "Afid" is included as part of the "Apple2000" emulator package for the
Amiga.
