This emulator was once available for free: a clever marketing trick! I got soon hooked and bought my first PDA, back in 1995.</p> <p>Out of nostalgia I tried to get the emulator running again – but without leaving OS X, of course. Thanks to <a href="http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/">Parallels Desktop</a> this should be easy, I thought. Just create a new virtual machine, install <a href="http://www.freedos.org/">FreeDOS</a> and copy the emulator on it.</p>
