      PortSystem 1.0

      Name: basiliskii
      Version: 0.9
      Revision: 1
      Category: emulators
      Platform: darwin
      Maintainers: nomaintainer
      Description: Opensource 68k Mac emulator

      Long Description: 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 Mac OS (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. Mac OS 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.
