Zug/Basel, Switzerland -- 11/1/98 -- F.E.Systems Emulation Technologies, maker of Apple IIgs emulation products, introduced today a prerelease of Bernie ][ The Rescue 2.0, the emulator that will set new standards in Apple II emulation. Bernie ][ The Rescue 2.0 features substantial changes such as industrial-strength communications support with full hardware handshaking, strikingly simple yet powerful customization options, adoption of Navigation Services, new memory enhancement technology, Zip Chip accelerator emulation as well as massive internal code maintenance. For the first time an Apple II emulator gets past the original by such a wide margin. Compared to a stock Apple IIgs Bernie operates up to 25 times faster, offers almost twice the RAM, communicates faster, and thanks to its tight MacOS integration gives you all the benefits of modern hardware. In fact, Bernie ][ The Rescue represents the first major upgrade to the Apple II platform since the introduction of the Apple IIgs in 1986. Bernie ][ The Rescue 2.0 is the only emulator compatible with Wolfenstein 3D, Diversi-Tune, Spectrum, Marinetti 2, and other communications software. Thanks to its proven PowerPC assembly core, it can handle even the most demanding Apple II software. The Bernie 2.0 Prerelease is available for immediate download. You can upgrade to the next-generation Apple IIgs at US$35 via fax, postal or electronic mail or online order through Kagi Shareware (http://order.kagi.com/?XF). Registered users are entitled to a $10 upgrade, no matter which version was registered. To learn more about version 2.0 prerelease, point your browser at http://www.magnet.ch/emutech/Bernie2/ . Version 2.0 also features a new, user-friendly registration scheme. Bernie ][ The Rescue is F.E.Systems' flagship emulation product. The company has extended its product palette recently with Sweet16, a superfast, lean Apple IIgs emulator for BeOS/PowerPC systems. A BeOS/Intel version is being worked on. F.E.Systems has been developing software products for the Apple II since 1989 and has specialized in data migration and legacy software. With powerful emulation products from F.E.Systems, there's now an affordable migration path that lets you keep on using the software you're familiar with while exploiting the full potential of modern hardware.
