ShapeShifter is a multitasking shareware Macintosh-II emulator for
the Commodore Amiga computer. It allows to run Macintosh software
concurrently to Amiga applications without hardware add-ons or
modifications.

Some of the emulation's features:

 - Color display up to 256 colors on AGA Amigas (16 colors on ECS)
   and up to 16,7 million colors on graphics cards (Picasso-II,
   MErlin, EGS and CyBERgraphics cards are supported)
 - No MMU required, even runs on A1200
 - Macintosh hard disks can be simulated in Amiga files or Amiga
   hard disk partitions
   [unregistered version has no hard disk partition support]
 - Can use Amiga floppy drives, serial, parallel and SCSI ports
   from the Mac
   [use of SCSI not possible in unregistered version]
 - Mac HD disks can be read directly with an HD floppy drive,
   Mac 800K disks cannot be read, Mac 720K disks, however, can
 - Multichannel sound output and parallel-port sound digitizers
   supported
 - Access to Ethernet networks with MacTCP
 - Text clipboard sharing between Mac and Amiga
 - File handler to access Macintosh volumes from the Workbench
 - Speed comparable to a real Mac with equivalent hardware

Requirements:

OS2.1, 68020 processor, 4MB of RAM, HD floppy drive recommended.
A copy of a Macintosh 512K or 1MB ROM and the Macintosh system
software are not included, but required. The ROM can be read off
of a real Mac by using a supplied program, the system software
can be bought from Apple. Note, however, that reading the ROM is
only legal if you have bought the ROMs or own a real Macintosh.

The most important changes in V3.0:

 - The SCSI routines are more compatible (e.g. SCSIProbe and the HDT
   drivers now run)
 - You can select which floppy drives ShapeShifter will use as the
   first and the second Macintosh drive
 - You can select which volume to boot from
 - The serial driver has been heavily improved and now supports fully
   asynchronous transmission and has better support for parallel devices
 - Removed the bug that could make ShapeShifter crash when using the
   "serial.device" from the Amiga side while the emulation was running
 - ShapeShifter now supports MacTCP with Ethernet cards
 - The "Merlin" graphics card is now supported
 - ShapeShifter can now display the Macintosh desktop in a window on
   the Workbench
 - On the 68040, the MMU is used to speed up the graphics refresh
 - ShapeShifter runs on the 68060 and with VMM
