BasiliskII is an opensource 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables you to run 68k MacOS software on you computer. It can run up to MacOS 8.1 depending on ROM image.

Just type 'BasiliskII' at the command prompt inside an x environment. To use Basilisk II, you need either a 512K Mac Classic ROM image or a 512K or 1MB 32-bit clean Macintosh ROM image. You also need a copy of MacOS (0.x thru 7.5 for Classic emulation, 7.x or 8.0/8.1 for Mac II emulation). For copyright reasons, none of these items are included with Basilisk II. MacOS 7.5.3 and earlier versions can be downloaded from Apple and various other Internet sites. Mac ROM files are not freely available. You have to own a real Mac and read out its ROM.
