Freshmeat lists one Apple II emulator on their emulator page
<http://www.freshmeat.net/appindex/x11/emulators.html>, KEGS:

If we had subject pages (like computer languages, authoring tools,
etc.), it would make sense to make one for emulators too.  I've never
been patient enough to get through all the annoyances of emulators (ROM
images, boot files, disk images...), so I haven't even got dosemu to
work.  Others have been more successful, I imagine.
