Hi Andy,

There are several for the MS operating systems. It depends on what you plan
on using them for. I have several favorites.

1) Kegs running on Linux. This is the one I use most.

2) ApplePC for MsDos or other variants including FreeDos. I use this one for
   the full screen mode. It is a great system but has a few bugs. The worst,
   IMHO is the keyboard. It sometimes returns the last key pressed instead of
   the current key. This could be dangerous for game characters. :-( Yet another
   reason I use this one, it works under the DosEmu program in Linux. It also
   runs under FreeDos which would allow creating a DEXE which is a self
   contained Dos application usable in Linux.

3) Apple Oasis for Windows. This is a great system. It is one of the few
   reason I use Windows. This may well be the most configurable emulator around.
   At least for the PC. My only complaint, the Apple graphics are difficult to
   view in a window. It has recently gotten a full screen mode, but it may not
   work for everyone. It didn't work on my VooDoo card, but it works fine on
   my ATI AGP card. It also comes with some very useful utilities such as the
   Disk Manager among others. Note, it is shareware and is still supported by
   the author.

There are others such as Applewin, Appler, etc. For more info, see the FAQ's at
