– Langage card protocol (16 Ko bank switched with ROM),
– ROM enhanced //e version,
– Extended 80 col. text card (with 64 Ko RAM auxiliary memory),
– Mousetext characters, Lores, mixed and page2 graphics are supported,

– A Drive ][ controler card in the Apple’s sixth slot. A Floppy disk’s content is seen as a 140Ko ADFS file for the emulator (just like the MSDOS hard drive partition with the Acorn PC emulator). When you launch Woz, the emulated Apple //e will boot with a ProDOS 8 system disk. If you wish to change the disk in your “Apple drive”, just press the
– ProDOS recognizes the Archimedes internal clock and will use it for its own file datestamping.
– A program resides on the ProDOS 8 boot disk which copies files to and from ADFS and ProDOS.
– Once Woz is launched you can insert a specially formatted ADFS disk in order to emulate as many Unidisk 3’5 as the number of floppy drives in your Archimedes system.
– Warning! This emulator’s version doesn’t provide neither Hires nor Double hires graphics..
Woz provides a small utility to copy files between the Archimedes and the Apple. The copy is of the raw kind on a byte for byte basis (i.e. it doesn’t care about the source file’s type to introduce format conversion).
Woz is not a stand alone emulator program.
Woz is a freeware program. Freeware means that you can freely distribute the emulator provided that the entire set of files is included. You should not make any profit by distributing it.
