Subject: MacBeebEm 1.0 officially released
MacBeebEm 1.0
A BBC Microcomputer Emulator for the Apple Macintosh
Recommended System: Mac with an '040 CPU running
System 7.0 or later and a 13" colour monitor. An LC475
is ideal.
MacBeebEm is a freeware emulator (written in Think C)
which closely mimics the BBC Micro (Model B) with 32K RAM.
The keyboard and graphics are faithfully emulated so games
like Elite and Revs run okay. Paged ROMs are supported.
A simple filing system is provided so that *SAVE, *LOAD
and *RUN work. BASIC's SAVE, LOAD and CHAIN also work.
The MOS 1.20 and BASIC ROMs are not supplied, so you must hook
up your BBC Micro to the Mac and transfer the ROMs over. The
documentation explains how to do this.
You can find MacBeebEm at FTP site blue.bad.bris.ac.uk in file
/pub/bbc/emulators/MacBeebEm.sit.hqx. This file has been Binhexed
and compressed with Stuffit. Please FTP between midnight and
8 a.m. (GMT) to keep traffic to a minimum.
