Apple II on the Mac

[onabeach]

Did Apple ever consider offering a 68k Mac running the Apple II OS? Could it be a dual boot system? It could have then run the huge amount of Apple II software available at the time.

Just found the answer: Apple came out with an Apple IIe pds card that apparently works in the Color Classic.

And with other units, including the LC range

Apple II emulation was available by 1985, in "II in a Mac"

II in a Mac - Apple II Emulation for Macintosh

It only runs properly on compact Macs.

Some people inside Apple evene made an Apple IIgs emulator for the Power Macintosh in software, but it never became an official product. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIGS#Gus
