Offered here is a very RARE MacIntosh Emulator package issued for use with the Atari St computers. This package appears to be complete and in excellent condition. Both software disks read. Here is some info from the web.
The Spectre GCR is a hardware add-on to the Atari ST computers that plugs into the cartridge port. Designed by David Small[1][2][3] and sold through his company Gadgets by Small, it turns the Atari ST ...into an Apple Macintosh. It is Small's newest Macintosh emulator for the ST, replacing his previous Magic Sac[4] and Spectre 128.[5][6]The Spectre GCR requires the owner to provide official Apple Macintosh 128K ROMs and Macintosh Operating System 6.0.8 disks. This avoids any legal issues of copying Apple's software. The emulator runs best with a high-resolution monochrome monitor, such as Atari's own SM124, but will run on color displays by either displaying a user-selectable half of the Macintosh screen, or missing out alternate lines to fit the lower resolution color display. The Spectre GCR plugs into the cartridge slot, and modifies the frequency of the data to/from the single-speed floppy drive of the Atari ST, allowing it to read Macintosh GCR format discs which require a multi-speed floppy drive.[7][8]Although Spectre GCR runs in 1MB of memory, 2MB or more is recommended
This item is offered as UNTESTED and sold as is, parts or repair as I do not warranty vintage electronics. I ship worldwide. Please check out my other listings. Buyer pays shipping. Good Luck!
