Forget it!  The Mac and II are two completely different machines.  The II
series use the 65(C)02/65C816 processors, while the Macintosh uses the 680x0
series.  Binaries on one computer will definitely not run on the other.  This
doesn't even take into account the differences between ProDOS and HFS.  Need
I say more? :-)

While you can't run Apple II software directly on the Macintosh, there is a
program called "II in a Mac" or something like that that WILL run Apple IIe
software.  I don't know about its limitations or execution speed on a plain
old Mac Plus, though.  It's a (yargh) software-based emulator. 

There is no IIGS emulator available that I know of.
