Basilisk II is an open source 68k Macintosh emulator. It can emulate
either a Mac Classic or a Mac II series machine with colour display
and sound.

 * Full screen CMU hack 
(Speed depends on number of video memory accesses, normally where fast.)
 * Full screen direct video 
(if your video card support it)
 * Full screen frame skipping
(if nothing else works, this mode is slower in high resolution)
 * MMU based video memory emulation on read and write opcodes
 * RDB support
 * Displays disk-image and partition size (when found!)
 * Mouse wheel support 
 * Hard-disk support with 64bit addressing
 * Supports LUT and ARGB display modes on all screens including Workbench 
 * Supports CD-ROM
 * All PC keyboard keys are supported in emulation
 - Ethernet support Disabled until a workaround is found.
(Se source code if you like to help)
 
DISCLAIMER:

* PARTITIONS:
DO NOT USE DH0, MAKE A NEW MAKE A NEW PARTITION AND CALL IT SOME THING SMART,
PARTITION WILL BE OVERWRITTEN !!! MAKE THE PARTITION NO LARGER THEN 2GB,
IF YOU LIKE TO BE SAFE USE SLOWER DISK-IMAGES.

* IF YOU DO GET DSI ERRORS, DO NOT IGNORE ERRORS, BE SAFE; WARM REBOOT.
MACINTOSH SOFTWARE CAN HAVE BUGS, THERE IS NO MEMORY PROTECTION THAT CAN STOP IT
FROM CRASHING YOU SYSTEM.
(IF YOU DO THIS THE IT'S ON YOUR OWN RISK.)

* POWERUP USERS:
IT IS PROBABLY BETTER RUN SHAPESHIFTER OR FUSION ON
THE 68K THAN BASILISK II ON THE PPC. BASILISK II USES UAE CPU ENGINE AND
BPPC/CSPPC IS TOO SLOW.

Changes in Basilisk II 0.9.6 experimental AmigaOS4 06.10.2010:

* Changed prefs file for new screen modes.
* GUI updated screen mode selector
You now can use 3 different full screen modes: frame skipping, mmu hack, direct
video.
(Not all modes will work for you, if you need special version of mmu hack see
source code)
- Ethernet support is disabled (dummy routines)

Changes in Basilisk II 0.9.5 experimental AmigaOS4 28.09.2010:

* inline assembler for video convection
(for experimental MMU video memory emulation)

Changes in Basilisk II 0.9.4 experimental AmigaOS4 19.06.2010:

* direct video support on 32bit
* MMU based video memory emulation on read and write opcodes
* Can quit emulator at anytime ("emergency quit")
- Frame skipping is obsolete
- Ethernet support is not working

Changes in Basilisk II 0.9.3+ AmigaOS4 11.Aug.2008:

 * Mouse wheel support.
 * Ethernet fixes, (don't know if they work).
 * ASL fileselector for Ethernet device
 * New "Add bootdisk" button.
 * Shows partition and diskimage size in GUI.

Changes in Basilisk II 0.9.3 AmigaOS4 3.Aug.2008:

 * Added ASL fileselector for ROM and diskimages.

Changes in Basilisk II 0.9.3 AmigaOS4 7.Nov.2007:
 * Merged the AmigaOS3.x sources whit MorphOS sources.
 * Removed MUI stuff
 * Simplified error messages (NO MUI STUFF)
 * Added reaction GUI
 * Removed TD64 support
 * Fixed bug in disk support (random memory corruption)
 * Added NSD64 (large disk support used in OS3.5/3.9/4.0)
 * Removed Cybergraphic stuff not relevant to AmigaOS4.
 * added Picasso96 support from OS3.x sourcecode
 * removed direct video-output (none working video-modes) slower but works
 * Added RDB support, no need to enter start and size in blocks.
 * New Icon from Martin "Mason" Merz
