vMac (not to be confused with Mini vMac) is a free software emulator that emulates the Apple Macintosh Plus.
That means that vMac does not cost anything, and does not use any hardware.
A lot of the Macintosh Plus' functionality is already implemented in this port, and that includes:
- 68000 CPU, 68010 CPU, 68020 CPU + 68881 FPU emulation
- 4 MB of RAM
- Keyboard support
- Floppy support
- Sound support
- Mouse support
- Minimal printer support [Experimental]
- Minimal SCSI support
Compatibility:
Be warned that Mac emulation is really slow in VirtualBox/DOS.
The system requirements for the DOS build of vMac are:
- MS-DOS 5.0 or higher
- 80486 with a 80487 FPU, Pentium 133 recommended
- A minimum of 8 MB of RAM, 16 MB of RAM recommended
- Mouse
- About 3 - 4 MB of hard drive space for minimum install (vMac + ROM file + disk image)
- 15 - 20 MB of hard drive space recommended
