At the same site are ts1000.zip and model1-b.zip which are Timex/Sinclair 1000 and TRS-80 Model I emulators. I'm also in the final stages of marketing a TRS-80 Model III/4 emulator through a software publisher. (ts1000.zip is freeware, model1-b.zip is shareware. They're both early trials so they're slower than the CoCo and III/4 emulators, but if you register the Model I emulator, you get a newer version which is 150% faster.) I've also seen PC emulators that do Commodore 64's and Apple II's, but they're scarce because they include ROM images, and so sites are nervous about having them. (Many T/S 1000 emulators are available though that do include the ROM. The reason being that apparently the copyright defaulted after the company folded.) BTW, I was also working on an Atari 2600 emulator. I figured I could get more life out of those Atari game cartridges, but in the end I shelved it. It didn't seem worth the effort. (I wrote Atari in August to see if they were interested, but I've never heard back.) I'd even worked out a way to plug the cartridges into the parallel port. - Jeff
