The System 7 does not work and we need to find images on 800 kB version. The only Atari emulator for OS X emulating the whole ST family: ST, E, TT, Mega ST, Falcon. It normally works with any version of the system up to the sixth (except the very first system). We used a hard drive emulator on SD cards, but IвЂ™ve read somewhere that it also went well with a Macintosh hard drive via SCSI/ACSI adapter (Atari interface). Concerning the installation on the hard drive, it also works with an external hard drive. It works once youвЂ™ve read the (very funny) manual. We first tested the System 6.08 floppies.

I wonвЂ™t talk about the issues of software to write the images (thank you ResEdit).

The solution was to download the data on a newer machine, transfer it to an old Mac (via USB) with a Mac OS X able to write HFS disks, then to copy the images (800 kB) on a 1.44 MB floppy, plug it into a (very) old Mac with an internal drive and finally write data on 800 kB disks. More specifically, the most effective way to create a set of installation disks for the Spectre GCR is to use a Mac that can connect to the Internet (Apple offers images of a lot of stuff) and equipped with an internal floppy drive, but I do not have one. Finally, Mac OS X can only read the classic HFS in its recent versions. Added ability to set scaling to integer values only, still by dragging the window resize handle.Changed Fullscreen to use true MacOS Fullscreen, with seperate workspace.This elimiinates the need for a Fullscreen GUI, since the normal Mac windows and dialogs work in Fullscreen now.Added option to maintain Atari screen. Bad news, USB drives are limited to HD disks. The second one is that to read a DD floppyвЂ¦ You need a compatible player.

The first one is that the DD disks are rare in 2014, so you have to edit HD disks of 1.44 MB. This is a concern for transferring data, for several reasons. The Spectre GCR card will control the Atari player (via a cable) in order to make it accept Apple floppies.ДЇirst thing to know, the Atari only reads double density disks (the 800 kB of the old Mac). To simplify, Apple drives have a variable rotation speed and sectors that have a fixed physical size, while the conventional players (PC, Atari, etc.) have a fixed rotation speed and variable physical sector size. One of the advantages of the card (which was not on the previous version) is that it can handle Macintosh floppies that use a GCR coding, which explains the name of the card. Emulate is not the right word since the Atari and the Macintosh used the same type of processors (68000) at that time, but the idea is there: we will start the Macintosh operating system on an Atari.ДЇor legal (and practical) reasons, a Macintosh ROM has to be inserted in the Spectre GCR card. The Spectre GCR is an expansion card for Atari computers which вЂ“ coupled with a dedicated software вЂ“ emulates a Macintosh Plus. BIOS ROM required.Did you know that not-so-long ago, it was possible to turn an Atari ST into a Macintosh? With the help of a fellow fan of Atari (Brume on the Atari-Forum), we restarted a Spectre GCR. It sports an assembly core, so it runs nearly 3 times as fast as NoSTalgia. PowerST is an emulator by the author of NoSTalgia. It is also very fast (though not as fast as it's counterpart PowerST).

It runs most applications and games written for the Atari ST, and has full video and sound support. NoSTalgia is the premier Atari ST emulator.

There are also some ports to other operating systems like macOS or Windows.ДЄRAnyM is a software virtual machine (similar to VirtualBox or Bochs) designed and developed for running 32-bit Atari ST/TT/Falcon operating systems (TOS, FreeMiNT, MagiC and Linux-m68k) and TOS/GEM applications on any kind of hardware - be it an IBM clone (read it as 'PC' :-), an Apple, an Unix server, a graphics workstation or even a portable computer. 2 GHz for Falcon emulation) which is running a POSIX compatible operating system (preferably GNU/Linux) that supports the SDL library.
