If we're going to make an apple ][ emulator, why stop there...Why not go
ahead and make an Apple IIgs emulator...The screen size on the GS is
640X200 (sound familiar?) Support for the graphics modes shouldn't be
THAT difficult. Sound would be quite another thing tho...I suppose that the
perfect solution would be part hardware and software: It would include a
synthesizer chip like the GS and logic to control the apple disk drive. As
I see it, such a device could be used also as a simple way to read MAC format
disks and to play 16 channel sounds. (who would complain about this?)

Any thoughts? This summer I was going to polish some of that Apple emulator
code...Perhaps that EE degree won't go to waste after all.
