There's an Apple II emulator for unix machines. As far as I know it is
written in C and it is public domain. It is distributed without ROM
code, so you have to upload ROMs from your own Apple II. It does some
interesting optimization by trapping well known ROM entry points so
that screen I/O is faster than it would otherwise be.

It should be easy to port to a Mac II. I guess most parts should eventually
be converted to assembly for optimum speed.

How does "II in a Mac" solve the ROM problem?
