-
- ShapeShifter is a multitasking shareware Macintosh-II emulator for
- the Commodore Amiga computer. It allows to run Macintosh software
- concurrently to Amiga applications without hardware add-ons or
- modifications.
-
- Some of the emulation's features:
-
- - Color display up to 256 colors on AGA Amigas (16 colors on ECS)
- and up to 16,7 million colors on graphics cards (Picasso-II,
- MErlin, EGS and CyBERgraphics cards are supported)
- - No MMU required, even runs on A1200
- - Macintosh hard disks can be simulated in Amiga files or Amiga
- hard disk partitions
- [unregistered version has no hard disk partition support]
- - Can use Amiga floppy drives, serial, parallel and SCSI ports
- from the Mac
- [use of SCSI not possible in unregistered version]
- - Mac HD disks can be read directly with an HD floppy drive,
- Mac 800K disks cannot be read, Mac 720K disks, however, can
- - Multichannel sound output and parallel-port sound digitizers
- supported
- - Access to Ethernet networks with MacTCP
- - Text clipboard sharing between Mac and Amiga
- - File handler to access Macintosh volumes from the Workbench
- - Speed comparable to a real Mac with equivalent hardware
-
- Requirements:
-
- OS2.1, 68020 processor, 4MB of RAM, HD floppy drive recommended.
- A copy of a Macintosh 512K or 1MB ROM and the Macintosh system
- software are not included, but required. The ROM can be read off
- of a real Mac by using a supplied program, the system software
- can be bought from Apple. Note, however, that reading the ROM is
- only legal if you have bought the ROMs or own a real Macintosh.
-
- The most important changes in V3.0:
-
- - The SCSI routines are more compatible (e.g. SCSIProbe and the HDT
- drivers now run)
- - You can select which floppy drives ShapeShifter will use as the
- first and the second Macintosh drive
- - You can select which volume to boot from
- - The serial driver has been heavily improved and now supports fully
- asynchronous transmission and has better support for parallel devices
- - Removed the bug that could make ShapeShifter crash when using the
- "serial.device" from the Amiga side while the emulation was running
- - ShapeShifter now supports MacTCP with Ethernet cards
- - The "Merlin" graphics card is now supported
- - ShapeShifter can now display the Macintosh desktop in a window on
- the Workbench
- - On the 68040, the MMU is used to speed up the graphics refresh
- - ShapeShifter runs on the 68060 and with VMM
