There are one or two public-domain/distributable software Apple II emulators
for the Amiga.  Try look in the anonymous FTP site ab20.larc.nasa.gov.
They all require that you own an Apple II and download the ROM.

AMAX runs fine on the A3000 (I run AMAXII on my A3000-25.) Bridgeboards
also run fine on the A3000 if you do a small trick to prevent caching the
Bridgeboard's shared memory.  In your Startup-Sequence can either:
	1)  Disable all caching permanently before running binddrivers, or
	2)  Use a late-model version of the developer's utility Enforcer to
	    disable caching only on the Bridgeboard's shared memory.

With that small fix, you can run Apple II, Macintosh, and IBM software (and
more) on an A3000.
