Here is a possible software solution. I just got the spring 91 "Macintosh Educational Software Collection" by the "Chariot Software Group" and in it there is a program listing which says: "II in a Mac" Not compatible with LogoWriter $150 [in part] "This emulator allows you to access & operator thousands of Apple II software programs with full use of Desk Accessories and 'Cut & Paste' to the Macintosh clipboard. 'II in a Mac' also allows you to convert AppleWorks(tm) data files (or any other Apple II data file) into standard Macintosh text files that can then be used..." and vice versa (text files). "Apple 3.5 inch Unidisks(tm) can be used directly in 800K Macintosh disk drives. Apple II 5 1/4 inch diskettes are easily transferred to and from the Mac by cable with special transfer software included with this package (cables sold separately). Programmers can develop Apple II software using Integer BASIC, AppleSoft BASIC, or machine language. Apple II softswitches & ROM hardware locations are fully supported!" That said, this said: I haven't ever heard of this place, or this product before! The catalog passed by me by chance. It seems to be completely legit. Anyone know of them?? There is no listing for who did the program, it appears to be commercial tho. For comparison, After Dark is listed at $40 (quantity discounts available).
