| | Macintosh Plus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | There is a program called vMac that will emulate a Mac Plus on a variety of platforms, including Unix, Windows, DOS and Mac OS. | | | Scotty is handed the mouse, which he holds up to his mouth like a microphone and cheerfully says, "Hello computer!" The machine's owner directs him to the use the keyboard, which he calls "quaint" but quickly accomplishes the task. | | | This was the first time GUI versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint were introduced on any personal computer platform. |

| | Apple Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Macintosh, or Mac, line of personal computers is designed, developed, manufactured, and marketed by Apple Computer. | | | With the release of Intel-based Macintosh computers, the potential to natively run Windows based operating systems on Apple hardware without the need for software such as Virtual PC was introduced. | | | Current Macintosh computers use an ATI Radeon, nVidia GeForce or Intel GMA graphics processor and include either a Combo Drive, a DVD player and CD burner all in one; or the SuperDrive, a dual-function DVD and CD burner. |

| | Macintosh computer |
| | The Macintosh computer was released in January of 1984, with 128K RAM of memory. | | | Except for the very expensive and unpopular Apple Lisa which came out in 1983, the Macintosh is considered to be the first commercially successful computer to use a GUI (Graphical User Interface), as seen above. | | | Most modern-day computers now operate on this principle, including modern Apple computers and most others which run the Microsoft Windows operating system. |

| | Mini vMac Emulated Hardware Reference |
| | The floppy disk drives of the Macintosh Plus have a small hole into which a straightened paper clip can be inserted, which will force the floppy disk to be ejected. | | | A program such as "CopyRoms", when run on a real Macintosh Plus, will save this information to a file, which can then be transferred to the machine on which you want to run Mini vMac. | | | The save operation of a program for the Macintosh Plus would normally force changes to be written out to disk (and not just left in RAM caches). |

| | Profile: Mac Plus |
| | The Plus does not support high density floppies, but it can be used with an external HD floppy drive as long as the disks used are 800K floppies. | | | Because the Mac Plus is convection cooled, you should never block the vents on the side or top of the computer. | | | All you need is an old Mac Plus with 4 MB of RAM, a hard drive, System 7 or later, some free software, and an Internet connection. |

| | Mini vMac - a miniature Macintosh emulator |
| | (The Mac Plus ROM supports the 68020, and vMac for Macintosh emulates a 68020 instead of a 68000.) Much of the implementation is adapted from the "UAE Amiga Emulator", mostly as found in the vMac source. | | | The main reason for emulating a Mac Plus 68020 is as a stepping stone to emulating the Mac II. | | | Having the Mac Plus 68020 working as well as it does so far will make it easier to write testing software to make a correct 68020 implementation. |

| | History of computer design: Macintosh Plus |
| | Over the course of its production, its colour changed from the original Macintosh's brown to introduce a warm grey known as "platinum" which was favoured by frogdesign and would be the colour of every following desktop computer from Apple until the mid-1990s (Kunkel, 61). | | | Manock and Oyama's physical design remained largely intact even for this machine, but within it was clearly more suited for a business market. | | | Frogdesign made a few small changes to the original design of the case, embedding port icons into the plastic and reducing the plastic barrier that Manock had added so as to allow more standard cables to be attached. |
