Good emulator for debugging RWTS code?
AppleWin debugger dev here. Please raise a feature request and I'll add it to my backlog of debugger features.

Testing Generic RAM card
I added Saturn LC support a few years back that has the gory details about the I/O bank switching which extended the 16KB LC. IIRC I used the Saturn System Disk to test that the LC was working according to the specs.

Question about Apple emulators and Archive.org

New release of Total Replay
I occasionally look for AppleWin feedback/questions but the main place us devs hang out is on Usenet's comp.emulators.apple2 and on GitHub but note that our GitHub and UseNet is for bugs/feedback and not help with specific Apple 2 software. That's what comp.sys.apple2 is for.

First stage of project CompuSar is nearing completion
Understood. We've been tracking down the odd LSS (Logic State Sequencer) bugs of the drive controller in AppleWin. You might be able to reach out to Tom if you have questions. Better yet would be to hit up usenet c.s.a2 to post questions there.

Ask HN: How can I break into retro computers?
The least expensive way to try things out is, of course, via emulation, and there's very active work and archiving being done for early 8-bit microcomputers such as Apple II, Commodore 64, TRS-80 and Atari machines. Apple emulators, such as Virtual ][ (http://virtualii.com) and AppleWin (https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin) at least, let you emulate not only the Apple II but CP/M as well. There's old hardware out there as well, with all the problems associated with it.
For other old systems, such as the PDPs, Vaxen and others, there's simh (http://simh.trailing-edge.com/ and https://github.com/simh/simh).

GSPlus and I probably need a dummies guide
https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin may be a friendlier place to start.

Apple ][ games for MacBook Pro?
GSplus (https://apple2.gs/plus/) is an alternate version of KEGS, developed after the original release but before Kent started working on it again. I'm not sure what the current state of everything is, but IIRC GSplus addressed some of the usability issues of the original.

Is there a Windows Apple ][ emulator that doesn't suck?
I'm not huge into the Apple II scene but isn't gsplus pretty much the definitive emulator at this point, given its KEGS heritage?

My dad hasn’t had an Apple computer since the Apple II GS. Somehow I finally convinced him to get an M1 Mac Mini and he loves it :)
Go full circle. Here's a link to an apple IIGS emulator for OSX. https://apple2.gs/plus/

Since M1 Mac can run iPad software... this is iPad's Apple IIGS emulator running on my Mac!
This is cool and all, but there already is an Apple ][GS emulator for Mac, no iPad version required: http://apple2.gs/plus/
