It has been a long trip from that 48K IMSAI at 4mhz in 1975 to my current Apple iMac with 8GIG running at 3.4GHZ in 2013. When Microsoft came out with Vista, I abandoned that genre and move exclusively to the Mac and OSX

Covering both the emulators themselves and the web sites that support them. Then was years of various models of PC’s running everything from Windows 3.0 to XP. Dealing with the topic of emulating the computers and consoles produced by Atari. The emulator is auto-configurable and will compile on a variety of systems (Linux, Solaris, Irix). Soon after I too went to the Atari ST-1040 which was actually a very nice machine… also running GFA-Basic… there are still one or two of my early programs floating on the net. The Atari++ Emulator is a Unix based emulator of the Atari eight bit computers, namely the Atari 400 and 800, the Atari 400XL, 800XL and 130XE, and the Atari 5200 game console. Wrote the first commercial lunar lander program in 4K, sold by Kilobaud magazine…

I then went to a TRS-80 which I ultimately upgraded to 48K and dual disk drives!!! (and did NOT dim the lights ) it had a whole 4K of memoryĭuring this time a friend and I built a IMSAI 8080 that had 48K of memory and a 22amp (yes AMP as in 2400watt) powesupply… it dimmed the lights when you turned it on… Took us 6 months of long nights of soldering to get it built… S-100 anyone? I started learning BASIC in 1975 on a shared Wang 2200B computer the College I went to had. The emulator used on Virtual Atari is compatible with most browsers on both Mac OS X 10.5/6/7.x and PC Windows 2K and newer.
