I think I just found a project for Monday afternoon at work...during downtime, of course.

You don't even need a Mac, Andy...

There are links for emulators for Mac, Windows, Linux and Pocket PC on that page.

But don't worry, slowly we'll win you over to our side. Wink

I tried...

I got stuck at the BIN image. Please don't laugh if I say something stupid, lol. But, if I read correctly I was suppose to extract files from the .BIN file. So, I grabbed ISOBuster, Stuffit Expander and Magic ISO, because those are all programs that Google brought up when I searched for a bin compatible program.

None of the programs were able to extract anything from the file. Each time it tried it would say that the file was corrupt or that it was not a disc image file.

I also tried converting the BIN to ISO with one of the programs, then I was going to simply mount it with Daemon Tools...but, that didn't work either, got error messages everytime I tried working with the file.

SLAX on a USB Drive is easy ... so is Puppy Linux. BUT, thats not the point here. LOL.

Stuffit works

I never realized how terrible Stuffit is for Windows, but it can unpack the .bin file. It only took me about 8 tries to figure it out.

Good luck with the rest, as I'm not touching it until I'm on a Mac where I'm more confident of things not breaking.
