I ask because the emulator hangs the system every time I try to boot one using the command: mess apple2ee –flop1 whatever.po”. Or at least, it has done so far. I think there might be some background process that’s messing up mess (hah) somehow, and I can try and figure out what it is. But I realise I’m maybe not even clear on the capabilities of the extended E. This is more than just a 2 E with 128k of ram, right?

I’ve been a PC guy for a long time now, but someone recently sent me the Mess emulator and Apple II-E Extended rom along with a lot of disk images, and I found the address for this list in the archive. It’s really neat that people are doing this. So far I’ve had success in getting Apple + Echo emulation a few times, but the emulator is just as likely, it seems, to hang my Windows 10 machine. Well, at least it works at all. I must say, hearing that Echo voice again after so many years is uncanny.
